Which loan types do you have?
Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP)
As of July 1, 2010, all federal student loans are funded by the federal government through the Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP). Loan types include Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, Direct Parent PLUS, Direct Graduate Student PLUS (Grad PLUS) loans, and Direct Consolidation loans. These student loans have low interest rates and flexible repayment terms to help students of various economic background gain access to higher education. There are a limited number of organizations designated by the U.S. Department of Education to service these loans.
Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP)
FFELP loans were available through private lenders prior to July 1, 2010 (you may have chosen a private lender from a list when you originated your loan) and were guaranteed by the federal government. FFELP loan types include Subsidized and Unsubidized Stafford, Parent PLUS, Grad PLUS, and Consolidation loans. FFELP loans have similar terms and conditions to Direct Loans, but there are some differences in repayment plans, loan forgiveness programs, borrower benefits, and interest rates.
