明星八卦

The Direct Loan Program is a US federal loan scheme, available to eligible US Citizens only.  明星八卦 is eligible to certify loan applications for the Direct Loan Program.

To be eligible to receive a US Direct Loan at 明星八卦 students must be studying in the UK and have a UK bank account in their own name.

Students arriving in the UK for the first time, must ensure that they have sufficient funds to sustain them until they have opened a UK bank account as this can take some time.

In order to comply with new regulations we have changed the date of the first disbursement.  New and continuing students will need to ensure that they have sufficient funds available to them to sustain them till he first disbursement which will be in the final week of October.
