| PublicationDate: 5/2/96 Summary: 1996 DIRECT CONSOLIDATION LOAN PROGRAM TRAINING Author: DLTF - Direct Loan Task Force 1996 DIRECT CONSOLIDATION LOAN PROGRAM TRAINING Students think financial aid administrators have all the answers. But the answers change, and new opportunities for students arise. If you are a financial aid administrator who wants to know more about Direct Consolidation Loans and repayment, sign up now for Department of Education training. TOPICS WE WILL COVER An overview of the Direct Consolidation Loan Program will give new financial aid office staff a good background. Those more experienced can fill in the blanks in their knowledge. In addition, the training will help everyone in the financial aid office get up to speed on regulatory changes, such as the new Income Contingent Repayment Plan. You can learn all the advantages to a Direct Consolidation Loan, especially a new alternative _ in-school consolidation. Finally, broaden your knowledge about repayment options and default prevention.
