For the 2025-26 academic year, Aarhus University will cease to participate in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan) program. US applicants to Aarhus University will not be able to fund their studies with US federal student loans.
Students who are currently enrolled and receiving US federal student loans will be contacted directly.
Aarhus University has applied for status as an eligible non-participating institution. This status will allow AU to perform enrollment certification for students carrying US student loans, enabling those students to postpone loan repayment while enrolled at Aarhus University. This is also the status that some private lenders require in order to consider loans to US students.
Please write to Ms. Bente Broch Sørensen (usloans@au.dk) in the International Office if you have questions about US Federal Student Aid at Aarhus University.
