LOANS

Federal Direct Loans

Direct Loans are low-interest loans administered by the federal government. Direct Loans offer you a single application process and low origination fees, making more loan funds available to you. Loan awards are awarded for one academic year, with equal payments for the Fall and Spring terms. According to federal regulations, your Federal Direct Loan award must be issued in equal disbursements during the academic year.

Federal Direct PLUS loans

The Direct Parent PLUS loan is a federal loan program created to allow parents the opportunity to take out a loan in their name for their students.

Alternative Loans

If a student is unable to receive sufficient funds from federal loans, they may pursue a credit-based loan in their name. Students should only pursue an alternative loan as a last request.
