All federal student loans will be made directly by the federal government through Direct Lending.  If there are any unexpected changes in the procedures below, we will notify you.

Before You Begin

The amount of any Federal Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Direct Loan listed on your Award Letter is the maximum amount you are eligible to borrow. You may borrow any amount up to this maximum amount and write the amount you wish to borrow on the Award Letter. Please initial after the amount you wish to borrow.
