Student Checklist

  • Complete the FAFSA – The Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) is a free form provided by the U.S. Department of Education that allows students to see if they are eligible for federal student loans. The application can be completed online on the FAFSA website.
  • Contact Your College’s Financial Aid Office – This allows you to check if you are eligible for state, federal, or institutional aid. You should do this prior to obtaining a private student loan, as it can decrease your eligibility for other forms of financial assistance.
