FORD FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM SUMMARY: DIRECT LOAN PUBLICATIONS UPDATE Dear Year Two School: We know that you are eager to begin participating in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program for 1995-96 and would like to receive information for your students. A number of you have asked about the availability of publications, including entrance and exit counseling materials. We want to make sure you understand that our existing materials were developed for Year One and must be updated for Year Two. The regulations published on December 1, 1994 made changes to the program, and we must revise our materials so that you-and your students-will not receive inaccurate information for 1995-96. We are currently updating all publications; in fact, by the time this letter reaches you, several basic information pieces will have gone to print, including All About Direct Loans, a booklet giving students the information they need to know about the program. These booklets should be available in April. We expect entrance and exit counseling materials, including videos, to be available later in the spring. When various publications and other materials become available, we will send you a letter and include an order sheet. In the meantime, if you would like a brochure giving a brief overview of Direct Loans, you may order Direct Loans: A New Way to Borrow. We developed this brochure for 1994-95, but the information has not changed significantly. You may order by calling the Direct Loan Servicing Centers School Relations Department at 1-800-848-0978. NOTE: We are revising and slightly expanding this publication; it will be called Direct Loans: A Better Way to Borrow and should be available in April as well. Thank you for your interest in the Direct Loan Program. Sincerely, Diane Sedicum Chair, Direct Loan Task Force |
