A24. Federal Direct Loans have the same general terms, conditions, interest rates, benefits and loan amounts as loans made to borrowers under FFELP. The primary difference between the Federal Direct Loan Program and FFELP is that the federal government, not private lending institutions, funds the Federal Direct Loan Program. Check with the college/university you plan to attend to determine the loan program in which the college participates.
