Loans

The Federal Direct Loan Program lends money to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students attending on at least a part-time basis. Two types of loans are available:

  1. Direct Subsidized Loan, which is based on financial need. The government will pay a portion of the interest you accumulate on this loan, and you repay the balance.
  2. Direct Unsubsidized Loan, which does not require students to demonstrate financial need. Students must repay this loan in its entirety, including interest.
