Federal Direct Loans
缅北强奸participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. Under this low-interest program, the funds for your loan come directly from the federal government.
The Direct Loan Program offers the following types of loans:
- Subsidized: for students with demonstrated financial need, as determined by federal regulations. No interest is charged while a student is in school at least half-time, during the grace period, and during deferment periods.
- Unsubsidized: not based on financial need; interest is charged during all periods, even during the time a student is in school and during grace and deferment periods.
Accepting a Direct Loan
Following the processing of your FAFSA, 缅北强奸will notify you of your loan amounts in an award letter that lists all of your proposed financial aid awards (your award package). You have the right to decline or lower your loan amount.
In the case of loans, keep in mind that whatever amount you borrow must be paid back with interest to the federal government. See .
