 威廉D. 福特联邦直接贷款计划

Students and parents who previously received loans through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program will now borrow through the Direct Loan Program. The Direct Loan Program (DLP) offers the same types of loans as the FFEL Program and generally this program will have the same terms and conditions as FFEL Program. The difference is instead of a bank lending the money; the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) lends the money directly to students and parents through the student’s school. The FFEL 贷款 were either 工作人员ord Subsidized or 工作人员ord Unsubsidized loans. 然而, in the Direct Loan Program these loans are called Direct Subsidized 贷款, Direct Unsubsidized 贷款 and Direct PLUS 贷款.

直接贷款计划的好处

Direct 贷款 and FFEL Program loans have the same annual and aggregate loan limits, the same deferment and cancellation provisions, and most of the same repayment plans (Standard, 毕业, 和扩展, 基于收入). The interest rates for FFEL Program 工作人员ord 贷款 and Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized 贷款 are also the same. Direct 贷款 also have some benefits that are available only in the Direct Loan Program:

  • Lower interest rate on Direct PLUS 贷款
  • 预付利息回扣
  • Income Contingent Repayment Plan (in addition to the Income-Based Repayment Plan)
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
  • No interest charged (for up to 60 months) during qualifying periods of active duty military service (for loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 2008)
