Helpful Tips:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)® first
The first step in applying for financial aid, which includes federal student loans, is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is a free form provided by the U.S. Department of Education that may be completed without professional assistance via paper application or online at FAFSA. FAFSA will notify you of any grants or work-study options you may qualify for besides federal student loan options. In addition, some states and individual schools also provide additional aid to eligible students.
- Work with your college financial aid office
Contact the financial aid professionals at your college or university to explore and exhaust all sources of student financial aid before seeking a private student loan. Accepting a private loan before using other types of available aid may decrease your eligibility for federal, state and institutional aid.
- Apply for Scholarships
Grants and work-study opportunities will, most often, only cover part of the cost of tuition. Before turning to student loans, explore scholarship options. Many scholarships are available to students in varying amounts, from $100 to a full ride! Many scholarships also require an essay submission with the application describing why you are a deserving recipient. School guidance counselors are an excellent resource for finding scholarships, and the Department of Labor also has a comprehensive scholarship finder.
