Financial Aid

Federal Financial Aid Programs (Title IV)

Arclabs is eligible to participate in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program, the largest federal student loan program. Under this program, the U.S. Department of Education is your lender. Please refer to studentaid.ed.gov/sa/ for current interest rates.

A direct loan is a low-interest loan designed to provide students with additional funds to assist in paying for education costs not covered by other sources of financial aid and is administered by the Department of Education and individual states. The types of Direct Loans available are outlined here.

Other Funding

Federal Funding
