FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM

The Collins Career Center utilizes the processing of subsidized, unsubsidized, and PLUS (parent) loans through the Federal Direct Loan Program. 

What is a student loan?  A student loan is a federally funded LOAN that must be repaid with interest.  

What are the eligibility requirements of the student loan? 

·         FIRST you must complete and submit the FAFSA (Pell Grant application);

·         The information from the FAFSA will help determine your eligibility and what type loan you qualify for;

·         The Financial Aid Office will review the rules and regulations of the student loan program at program orientation.
