Summer Pell Grant Information If you
are planning to enroll in summer classes be
sure to
file a 2009-2010 FAFSA application. The required
number of units for summer will be the same
as for
fall or spring semester. For more information
about
how awards are disbursed, see Financial Aid.
Transition from FFELP to Direct Loan
Program
On March 30, 2010, President Obama signed
the
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act
of 2010
(HCERA) which makes significant changes to the
Federal Student Loan programs. One of the
provisions
of the HCERA is the elimination of the
Federal Family
Education Loan Program (FFELP) and
implementation of the Federal Direct Loan
Program.
Therefore, effective July 1, 2010 all new
Stafford,
PLUS, and consolidation loans will be funded and
disbursed under the William D. Ford Federal
Direct
Loan (Direct Loan) Program. The transition
will be, for
the most part, seamless; students and parents
will
obtain a direct loan in essentially the same
manner as
they would have under the FFELP loan program.
