Loan Information
In addition to scholarships and grants, students may be eligible for federal and/or private student loans. There are various types of loans for you to choose from.
Graduation, Exit Counseling and Loan Repayment
A solid understanding of next steps, repayment plans, the hazards of default and how to resolve federal student loan disputes is critical to your future financial health.
Special Considerations and Additional Resources
Special Circumstances and Appeals
We recognize that the FAFSA may not reflect a family’s current financial situation. The U.S. Department of Education allows schools to take into account situations beyond a family’s control that have occurred that may significantly alter the financial picture demonstrated on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
