Federal student loans allow students to borrow at special fixed interest rates and with flexible repayment plans. Students must complete the Free Application for Student Aid and be eligible students to qualify for federal student loans. While there are private or alternative loans available, it is important to pursue federal student loans first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/understand-aid\/types\/loans\/subsidized-unsubsidized\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal Direct Subsidized Loan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/understand-aid\/types\/loans\/subsidized-unsubsidized\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/app\/launchPLUS.action?plusType=gradPlus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graduate Direct PLUS Loan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/app\/launchPLUS.action?plusType=parentPlus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parent Direct PLUS Loan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Borrowers who accept Title IV loan funding from Subsidized, Unsubsidized, Parent PLUS, or Graduate PLUS loan programs will have their loan information submitted to the National Student Loan Data System as required by federal regulation.

By completing the FAFSA, eligible students will be considered for federal student loans and other aid, including grants. Federal student loans can have terms and conditions that are more beneficial to the student, and our office recommends exhausting federal aid eligibility before considering a private loan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Searching for Private Lenders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students should compare loans from several private lenders in order to choose the best option for their situation. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmselect.com\/v4\/school\/1007\/program-select\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ELM Select<\/a>&nbsp;tool provides information on the most frequently used lenders at the University of Michigan-Flint over the past three years. The tool compares lender terms, rates, and repayment options and the list of lenders included is updated annually. Please note that students are not limited to the lenders included with this tool, and have the right to borrow from any lender they choose. The student should be aware of the eligibility requirements of the loan they are applying for (satisfactory academic progress, half-time enrollment, past due balances, etc.) to prevent the loan from being rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students should be aware of possible scams. Students should avoid any lender that does not require certification from the University of Michigan-Flint and be cautious of unsolicited loan offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information regarding private loans, please view this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1aW2HKYkpv36QCl-SjhuVxZzMwv3aM3KhPdIxM2pndgw\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">information sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Application and Certification Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply for the loan directly through the lender of your choosing (often online).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once approved, the lender will request that the University of Michigan-Flint certify the loan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After certification, lenders will send funds electronically directly to the school. Funds will then be applied to your student account, and any credit will be issued to the student.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Lender Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under provisions of the Truth in Lending Act, private education loan lenders are required to provide loan disclosures to borrowers, have a waiting period between the time of final loan disclosure and disbursement, and collect a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fsapartners.ed.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-06\/H450PrivateEducationLoanApplicantSelfCertificationForm.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification Form<\/a>.
