Maximize Your Federal Aid

Remember, it is best to apply for a private student loan AFTER you have explored and exhausted all federal aid, grants and scholarship options.

We also encourage you to review your rights and responsibilities

Private student loans should be used as supplemental funding after exhausting all other sources of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and federal student loans. Federal loans offer more attractive terms when compared to most other borrowing options, including private student loans. For more information on federal loans, visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
