Summary

The Secretary must give every school that takes part in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program a finished model disclosure form within 180 days after the model is made. The form must include the required information for Federal Direct Stafford Loans, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and Federal Direct PLUS loans. Each school must make that information available to students, people planning to attend, or their families. If a school gives a student information about a private education loan, it must also give that student the Secretary’s disclosure at the same time. A school may use its own similar form instead of the model form.
