This article explains the key differences between subsidized and unsubsidized federal student loans. With subsidized loans, the federal government covers the interest while the student is enrolled at least half-time and during deferment or grace periods, preventing the loan balance from increasing. In contrast, with unsubsidized loans, students are responsible for interest from the loan's disbursement, leading to a rising balance if payments aren't made during college.
