Student Academic & Financial Services
Direct Lending For many years, JWU has successfully administered federal student loan programs (i.e. Stafford, parent PLUS loans) through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). This relationship provided students with access to federal loans through a variety of private lenders who extended borrower benefits to them. Recently the government has begun regulating these benefits and changing the way student loan programs operate. Subsequently, JWU, like many schools, is transitioning to direct lending beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year. The implementation of direct lending will provide stabilized access to funds and allow JWU to prepare effectively for any federal changes. Please review the attached Frequently Asked Questions.
