Direct Loan

Direct Loans are low-interest loans for students and parents that help pay for the cost of a student’s education after high school. The lender is the U.S. Department of Education rather than a bank or other financial institution.

Direct Loans are simple because you borrow directly from the federal government and you have a single contact – the Direct Loan Servicing Center – for everything related to the repayment of your loans, even if you receive Direct Loans at different schools.

Direct Loans are convenient because you’ll have access to your Direct Loan account information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via Direct Loan Servicing Online at www.dl.ed.gov.

Direct Loans are flexible because you can choose from several repayment plans that are designed to meet the needs of almost any borrower, and you can switch repayment plans if your needs change.
