A Federal Direct Loan is a loan issued by the Department of Education to help eligible students pay for college and related educational expenses. To apply for a Federal Direct Loan, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

  • Direct Subsidized Loans: Subsidized loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need. The U.S. Department of Education pays the interest on these loans while the student is enrolled in school and for a 6-month grace period after leaving school.
  • Direct Unsubsidized Loans: Unsubsidized loans are available to undergraduate and graduate students regardless of financial need. The borrower is responsible for all interest accrued during school and beyond.

Terms vary from private lenders, so you and your parents should compare them carefully, including reviewing any fees added to the loan amounts. Students who borrow may be required to have a co-signer. Repayment typically begins six months after graduation, withdrawal or any time you drop below half-time.
