Federal Direct Loan: 2023-2024 academic year

If you did not borrow the annual federal loan limit for your grade level in 2023-2024, you may have Federal Direct Loan eligibility available to be used for summer. A Financial Aid Representative is available to assist you in determining your loan eligibility.

In some cases, we may recommend you apply for additional fall 2023-spring 2024 loan instead of a summer loan, if you have remaining academic year loan eligibility. Please note: the deadline for applying for an academic year loan is April 26, 2024. This will occur if you have unmet need for fall 2023-spring 2024.

 

The advantages to taking additional academic year loan versus a summer loan are: 

  1. 您现在可以灵活地获得额外的学年贷款资金，这将允许您在注册时支付夏季注册费. This would increase the likelihood of you being able to register for the summer classes you need.

  2. 您是否有资格获得贷款资金将基于您的2023年秋季至2024年春季入学状态至少为一半(相当于6个单元). Therefore, the 6 unit enrollment requirement for summer will not apply, 为您提供更大的灵活性，在夏季学期选择少于6个单元，仍然可以获得资助.

If you do not qualify for additional academic year loan, you may qualify for a summer loan. However, 只有在我们确认您在夏季至少注册了6个单元后，才会处理夏季贷款. 付款将在我们将您的贷款请求转发给教育部后大约10个工作日发生, but not earlier than the first day of your first summer class.
