Loan Repayment

Repaying Federal Direct Loans

Once a loan is disbursed, the government assigns your loan to a loan servicer to manage repayment. You and/or your parents can identify your specific loan servicer by logging in to studentaid.gov using your FSA ID. Any specific questions you have about repayment can be referred to your loan servicer. Additional information about loan repayment is also available.

If you took out a loan before going on a mission, your loan will go into repayment. Additional information about departing missionaries is available, or you can refer to the Departing Missionary Checklist.
