Federal Direct Student Loans

Valpo participates in the Direct Lending program, and processes all federal loans directly, apart from private lenders. First time student borrowers are required to complete entrance counseling before disbursement can be made. Valpo determines loan amounts, mails promissory notes to borrowers. Federal loans are credited to the student's Finance Office account. All loans are subject to a total aid cap equalling the cost of attendance less other aid received.
