Federal Student Loans
Due to a change in federal law, all Federal Stafford, PLUS and Grad PLUS loans issued on or after July 1, 2010 will be made through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan) and will be processed through EMS. This change will only impact new loans. Direct Loan funds will be disbursed directly to your school from the federal government rather than through Advantage Credit Union.You will need to contact the financial aid office of your school for instructions on how to obtain such loans. Most schools will have this information, along with the Application/Master Promissory Notes, on their websites.
