EMPOWERING STUDENTS For STEM students at minority serving institutions who need funding beyond grants and Direct Loans, the Student Freedom Loan Agreement (“SFLA”) provides up to $20,000 per year with no co-signer or credit requirement, a low 5.25% fixed interest rate, flexibility to defer payments when income is below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level ($45,180 in 2024), and debt cancellation benefits for those with persistent low-income. The HBCUs, HSIs, and AANAPISIs below have agreed to participate in Student Freedom Initiative’s SFLA private education loan program. Students who attend the schools below should check the list of eligible majors to see if they are eligible to apply for SFLA funding. These institutions do not endorse the Student Freedom Loan Agreement and we are not affiliated with these institutions.
