Financial aid for college students and their parents is a fact of life.
At first it can be a little confusing as there are different types of college financial aid available to US students so it's important to understand the difference
and how your college aid options may effect you. College financial aid comes in the form of low interest or government
subsidized college loans. Our college student loans page details the types and
the application process for you.
To apply for government financial aid for college you will need to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form and receive your
financial aid award package which will outline which types of education grants funding you are eligible for, including Stafford loans.
You will find information on the interest rates, terms, borrowing limits, disbursement and charges
on our college student loans page.
To be eligible you must satisfy these criteria:
- You must be a US citizen or eligible non-citizen
- You must have a high school diploma or GED certification
- You may not be in default on any other student loans
- You should be enrolled at least half time in an accredited degree program
