Federal Direct Stafford Loan

Federal Direct Stafford Loans are federally supported, low-interest student loans with flexible repayment options. Subsidized loans are offered to students who are eligible on the basis of calculated need, while unsubsidized loans are available even for those who do not qualify for need-based financial aid.

Boston University participates in the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program which has loan limits, interest rates, and fees comparable to those of the Federal Family Education Stafford Loan Program.

All applicants must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for determination of Direct Stafford Loan eligibility. Students must also complete Entrance Counseling and the Promissory Note before the INITIAL disbursement of a Direct Stafford Loan can be made.
