Loan Updates!

 Beginning summer 2010, Chabot College will participate in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program.  Students who previously received loans through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program will now borrow through the Direct Loan Program.  For more information about the Direct Loan Program, visit: http://www.studentloans.gov

Benefits of the Direct Loan Program

Direct Loans and FFEL Program Loans have the same annual and aggregate loan limits, the same deferment and cancellation provisions, and most of the same repayment plans (Standard, Graduated, Extended, Income-Based.) The interest rates for FFEL Program Stafford Loans and Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans are also the same.  Direct Loans also have some benefits that are available only in the Direct Loan Program, such as:

Up-Front Interest Rebate

Income Contingent Repayment Plan (in addition to the Income-Based Repayment Plan)

Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program

No interest charged (for up to 60 months) during qualifying periods of active duty military service (for loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 2008)

A loan is a long-term financial obligation

A Student loan is a long-term financial obligation. We provide information in your loan packet, brochures and this website to help you make an informed decision about borrowing a student loan, and understand Chabot's Loan Policies.  To understand Federal regulations regarding the Direct Loan Program, please make sure that you complete the online entrance and exit counseling required for your Direct Loan application.
