Loans

Loans are awarded after eligibility for grants has been considered.  Student loans, like any form of loan, should be borrowed with the full realization that the money must be repaid with interest.  There are several types of student loans, so it is important to understand the terms and conditions of each loan.  Access your total outstanding loan balance and view your Loan Servicer contact information via the StudentAid.gov website.
