How do I receive a Federal Direct Loan?
To apply for a Federal Direct Loan, you must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and, if a first time borrower, complete Entrance Counseling, and a Master Promissory Note.
What is the difference between a Federal Direct Subsidized and an Unsubsidized loan?
Federal Direct Subsidized loans are based on financial need. Interest is paid by the government while you are enrolled at least half-time and during the grace period or period of deferment. Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans are not based on financial need. Interest begins to accrue within 60 days of disbursement.
I have not received a promissory note for my USF Loan, what do I need to do?
You will need to contact Student Accounting Services (SAS), in the Student Services Building (room SVC 1102) to check on the status of your promissory note or you may call them at (813) 974-6056. You must sign a promissory note each term before the funds can be disbursed to your student account.
