Eagin + Doucette Loans

The Eagin and Doucette Loans are university-based loan programs with UP acting as the lender. 

Students may see this loan on their award as either “Doucette Loan” or “Eagin Loan”. The Doucette and Eagin loans are awarded to undergraduate students with financial need. Funds for the program were donated by Blanche Eagin and Richard and Evelyn Doucette. Doucette Loans and Eagin Loans are subsidized with interest suspended while the student is in school and during a 6-month grace period following graduation or withdrawal.
