Overview
PBA participates exclusively in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program, which is the U.S. Department of Education’s federal student loan program. The loans issued by this program are from the U.S. Department of Education, rather than by a traditional bank. You must submit a FAFSA each year to qualify for federal student loans. To be eligible for student loans, you must be:
- A U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or other eligible noncitizen
- Enrolled at least half-time
- In good financial standing, not in default or owing a refund to any previous aid program
- In good academic standing, maintaining satisfactory academic progress
