Kay Lewis Craig Munier Eilieen O'Leary Cheryl Resh Kristine Wright Not pictured:  Suzanne Day, Janice Dorian, Peg Julius, and Jean Rash  The National Direct Student Loan Coalition (NDSLC) is an alliance of schools participating in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. We are the only organization solely devoted to representing the interests and concerns of direct lending institutions. NDSLC believes that Direct Lending (DL) provides an excellent, streamlined process that allows students and parents to focus on education, not the administrative challenges that are endemic in the guaranteed loan system. The continuation of the DL program is vital to quality service for students and the efficient use of financial aid resources. NDSLC provides a conduit in Washington for those who want to ensure the continuation of the DL program. We are dedicated to improving the DL program to assure institutions have a choice in the delivery of federal loan funds to students and to assure continued improvement to all loan programs.
