Stafford Loans

Federal Direct Stafford Loans

Federal Direct Stafford Loans must be used first to pay tuition before being used for living expenses. Accordingly, one-half of the total loan amount, minus any loan origination fees, will be disbursed directly to your student account each term. At least half-time enrollment is required. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Federal Direct Stafford Loan funds are credited to your student account. Before Federal Direct Stafford Loan funds can be disbursed, you must complete Federal Direct Loan Entrance Counseling online at the US Department of Education website.
