NEW Student Loans Temporarily Suspended

As a result of the great demand for our student loans during these
challenging economic times, funding for next semester (Fall 2009) for NEW students has been temporarily suspended. We are still accepting applications, however, and your name will be placed on a waiting list. Funding for students currently in the student loan program is unaffected.

DHFLA Now Accepts Donations Online!

Click the “make a donation” button on this web site. We accept donations via credit card or PayPal. Both are secure transactions.

Your membership and donations are vital for funding for our loan programs. If you aren’t a member of DHFLA, please join. If you are already a member, now is the time to renew!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
