Direct loans are particularly suitable for students who are short of cash to pay for their school expenses such as books, tuition fees, dorm fees and some other miscellaneous fees and so on. Such programs run by the Education Department in each country. Since a student will no longer take out such loans from any intermediary institutions such as banks and other lending institutions, you will most likely get lower interest rates.

The procedures and simple and the loans is very cheap compared to any other types of conventional loans. A student of recognized school has to fill up a master promissory note. The note is a legal binding agreement for repayment by the student. It is possible to make any changes in the agreement at a later stage if the student wants so.

There are usually about three repayment plans to choose from. These are called the standard, graduated, income contingent and extended repayment options. A student can choose any suitable option. According to the standard plan, the student will pay a fixed amount monthly until he/she has repaid in full.

The second option is the graduated scheme where you will start to pay in smaller amounts during the first few months after you have graduated but later on the amount of your monthly payments will increase accordingly. Usually, the second option is more appropriate because you cannot really expect to earn big bucks immediately after you graduate from college.

The third option that you have in paying your direct student loan is the income sensitive scheme where your monthly repayment shall be calculated according to your income. The third option is favorable to you but sometimes could become a bit complicated if you transfer from one job to another and your income fluctuates.

The graduated repayment plan allows students to start at a low monthly payment, but it would increase every two years. Under this plan, the repayment duration can extent up to ten years. The third option, the income contingent repayment, is very flexible tailor made for especially financially weaker students.

For repayment options, the monthly payment is calculated based on the adjusted gross income of the applicant. Other aspects considered are the size of the family and the total amount of the loan.

A student will be able to access his/her account around the clock even during holidays by using an account number and a password by the department so that the money can be withdrawn through the online portal of the department. It is also possible to get any information regarding your account through the same arrangement.
