Federal Direct Student Loans are low interest rate federal loans offered to students attending accredited colleges and universities.
- The student is the borrower of this type of loan and these loans must be repaid.
- The type of Federal Direct Student Loan and the amount for which a student is eligible, will be listed in your financial aid award if you filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- The Federal Direct Student Loan does not go into repayment until you have dropped below half-time, six months after you leave school (your grace period) and during periods of deferment (a postponement of loan payments).
Requirements
In order for a Federal Direct Student Loan to be applied to your student account, new loan borrowers are required to complete two important steps prior toreceiving their first disbursement.
Step 1: Complete Student Loan Entrance Counseling – This is a federal requirement. It is a learning tool that is designed to provide you with some financial literacy and lets you know your rights and responsibilities as a federal student loan borrower.
Step 2: Sign a Master Promissory Note – Complete the application and sign a Promissory Note for your Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Student Loan. Signing the Promissory Note indicates your commitment to repay the loans you borrow.
Both requirements are completed online at studentaid.gov.
