易胜博 is proud to offer the U.S. Department of Education’s Direct Loan program for our students. Before applying for a Direct Loan, all students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The Federal Direct Loan is available to all students, regardless of income level. The Direct Loan program includes two loan types: Subsidized and Unsubsidized. The U.S. Department of Education will be your lender when you borrow from the Direct Loan Program. See the Loan Comparison Chart for more information about these loan types.
National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Disclosure:
易胜博 is required to disclose to all potential students, students, or parents of a student who is entering into a Title IV, Higher Education Act loan, that the loan will be submitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), and will be accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders, and institutions determined to be authorized users of the data system. For more information about managing loans and how your information will be utilized by the Department of Education and its loan servicers, visit studentaid.gov.
If you have not been awarded a loan, but wish to borrow, please contact the Financial Aid Office by email or by phone at (507)285-7271.
