The college you decide to attend may participate in either the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) or the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Federal Direct Loans). Both programs have the same general terms, conditions, interest rates, benefits and loan amounts. The main difference between them is that the government funds the Federal Direct Loans, and lending institutions fund the FFELP. Although some colleges offer both, you may only borrow under one program during an enrollment period. Check with the college you plan to attend to find out which program they are in, through which program you may be borrowing, and what you need to do to apply for a loan if you do decide to borrow.
