Duke moves to direct lending

Beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year, Duke will join hundreds of other U.S. college and universities in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. "We think this new approach will enhance the program for Duke students by providing greater ease of access and more transparency in the loan process," said Duke President Richard H. Brodhead.  For more information on Direct Loans including a comparison chart and FAQs visit Student Loans.  See full press release.
