Master Promissory Note
Starting with the 2009-2010 school year all Stafford loans, including parent PLUS loans, will be financed by Direct Lending. This means that you will not be choosing a lender - the lender is the U. S. Department of Education rather than a bank or financial institution.
Direct Loans are:
- Simple - You have a single contact - the Direct Loan Servicing Center - for everything related to the repayment of your loans, even if you receive Direct Loans at different schools.
- Convenient - You'll have online access to your Direct Loan account information 24/7 at Direct Loan Servicing Online at www.dl.ed.gov.
- Flexible - You can choose from several repayment plans that are designed to meet the needs of almost any borrower, and you can switch repayment plans if your needs change.
