Students at COM will be notified of the scholarship application procedure and deadline. Candidates are judged on academic merit, school and community service, evidence of individuality and creativity, and financial need. The award is made in memory of the late Dennis Kauff, an award-winning reporter in Boston. COM faculty and the Kauff Fellowship Committee select the recipient. Return Loan Information Direct Loan Program Boston University is participating in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program, which allows students to borrow directly from the federal government through their school, instead of through banks and other third-party lenders.
Direct lending is simple, and requires less paperwork.
Direct borrowers also benefit when it's time to pay back loans. They may open individual Education Accounts, which afford them four different repayment options, as well as the ability to switch repayment plans as their financial situations change. Students requesting loans for only one semester receive their loans at the beginning of that semester. The federal government covers interest charges on the subsidized loan, while a student is attending school. Interest charges on the unsubsidized loan accrue while a student is attending school.
