The US Department of Education (DoE) provides comprehensive information about applying for direct loans. This information is summarised in the London Met financial aid webpages, but we recommend you also read the DoE website. The key steps in the application process are outlined below.

- Please complete financial awareness counselling and then go to the information for first-time applicants.
- If this is your second or third application with London Met and you are an undergraduate student, see our information on subsequent applications. You are encouraged to undertake financial awareness counselling if you have not done so already.
- Please note that financial aid only covers expenses related to education and basic living costs during study periods. Costs not essential to your studies (eg. cell phone charges) cannot be included in the cost of attendance. The school issues a list of recommended reading for each class, but you will not usually be required to purchase books for your classes.
Once you have all the documentation required to originate your loan, please send it as one emailed application pack to usfinancialaid@londonmet.ac.uk
If you need assistance or if you have any questions please email usfinancialaid@londonmet.ac.uk.
