Understanding how we determine your award amount:
Loan amounts will be based on your Current Aid Award and the Cost of Attendance for your program.
Cost of Attendance for your program
Cost of Attendance for your program
- Expected Family Contribution - Amount or Estimate of financial aid
- A

A subsided loan is need based as determined by your FAFSA. A subsidized loan will be awarded first and does not accrue
interest while in school. Requested loan amounts above the maximum subsided amount will be unsubsidized.
Revised Spring 2018
Unsubsidized loans accrue interest immediately. There are
also lifetime and program limits of subsided usage. For more
information, please contact your Financial Aid Advisor.
You have the right to cancel all or a portion of the loan and to request that Durham Technical Community College
return the loan proceeds to the holder of the loan; however, if you have already received your net difference (refund)
check or direct deposit, the College is not responsible for returning the funds. If the College returns loan funds that were
used to pay your account balance, you will be responsible for immediate payment of the account balance that the
return of funds creates. Your cancellation request must be received by the Financial Aid Office by completing a Loan
Adjustment Form within 30 days.
