financial aid:  Student Loans

On April 1, 2010, Tidewater Community College will join the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.

The U.S. Department of Education will be the lender, rather than a bank or other financial institution, under this program.

Students may begin applying for Federal Direct Loans for the 2010-2011 academic year after April 1, 2010.  Students must wait to receive their Financial Aid Award Notice before applying for Direct Loans.

Please visit your campus Financial Aid Office if you have any questions regarding this transition.  Also please continue to check your student email regularly for important announcements.
