Paying for a College Education
Follow these easy steps to apply for Federal financial aid and student
loans:
- Apply for Federal Direct Loans by filling of the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Most students use FAFSA on the
web (www.fafsa.ed.gov) to complete their application. Electronic
filing is the most time efficient method, however, a hardcopy version
of the FAFSA The FAFSA can be obtained from the local library,
your high school guidance counselor, college financial aid office, or
by calling 800-4FEDAID.
- The information on your FAFSA is transmitted to the schools that you
list on the FAFSA, and those schools use the information to assess
your financial need for student aid.
- Your school will notify you of the loan amounts being offered in a
award letter that lists all of your proposed financial aid awards.
-
Work with the financial aid office at your
school to access and complete the Federal Direct Loan Master
Promissory Note (MPN).
- You will receive a disclosure statement that gives you specific
information about any loans that the school plans to disburse under
your MPN, including the loan amount, fees and the expected
disbursement dates and amounts.
All questions regarding your
Federal Direct Student Loan funding should be directed to the Financial
Aid Office of your school. Work closely with your school as you move
through the financial aid process. For more information, visit the Department
of Education website.
