Student Loans
Many students borrow student loans to pay for their education. All student loans must be repaid; most federal student loans are at a significantly lower interest than other private loans.
In order to explore options for student loans, you must complete a FAFSA for each academic year you want loan funding. Generally, you will start loan repayment six months after you graduate or leave school.
