The Air Force Aid Society Falcon Loan Program is available at the airman and family readiness center.

This program provides a streamlined process for Air Force personnel to receive an interest-free loan of $500 or less, repayable within three to 10 months or before expected time of separation.

"Falcon Loans are designed to meet the short-term financial needs of Airmen on active duty who might otherwise have to resort to a high-interest lender," said Linda Edison, Keesler's AFAS officer. "They may be used for basic living expenses such as rent or mortgage, food, phone, utilities and gasoline; vehicle expenses such as payment, repair and insurance; emergency travel or medical, dental or child care expenses."

Applications are accepted 1-4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays in Room 110, Sablich Center.
