Federal Student Loan Program

Trenholm State Community College does not participate in the Federal Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized, and Direct Plus Loan Programs. However, student borrowers who transfer to Trenholm State Community College may qualify for in-school deferments if enrolled at least as a half-time student. An in-school deferment is a temporary suspension of student loan payments.

Trenholm State Community College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as the agent for all verifications of student enrollment. In order to receive an in-school deferment, requesters should use www.studentclearinghouse.org.

The telephone number for the National Student Clearinghouse is (703) 742-4200, Monday – Friday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (EST).
The FAX number is (703) 742-4239.
The email address is enrollmentverify@studentclearinghouse.org.

Transfer students who participated in the Student Loan Program at another college are encouraged to continue to communicate with their lenders. Student loan lenders cannot help student borrowers without knowing the nature of their problems, and keeping in contact with previous lenders may prevent student borrowers from defaulting on their student loans.
