FederalDirect Loan Program
The Federal Direct Loan Program is a government-backed initiative that provides students and their families with low-interest loans to help pay for higher education. These loans are directly offered by the U.S. Department of Education, making borrowing more accessible and often more affordable than private options. Repayment typically begins after the student graduates or leaves school, with flexible repayment plans. The program aims to make college financing manageable, enabling students to pursue their educational goals without immediate financial burden.
