Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, email our support team and if you’re lucky someone will get back to you.
How do I know if I qualify for federal student loans?
To qualify for federal student loans, you need to be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, have a valid Social Security number, be enrolled in an eligible degree program, and maintain satisfactory academic progress. The first step is completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
What's the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans?
Subsidized loans are need-based loans where the government pays the interest while you're in school. Unsubsidized loans accrue interest from the date of disbursement and are available regardless of financial need.
When should I start applying for scholarships?
Start applying for scholarships as early as your junior year of high school and continue throughout college. Many scholarships have deadlines 6-12 months before the academic year starts, so early preparation is key.
How can I increase my chances of getting scholarships?
Maintain good grades, participate in extracurricular activities, gather strong recommendation letters, and apply to many scholarships - even smaller ones. Also, pay attention to application requirements and deadlines, and write compelling personal statements.
Should I consider private student loans?
Private student loans should typically be considered only after exhausting federal loan options, grants, and scholarships. They often have higher interest rates and less flexible repayment options than federal loans.
What are income-driven repayment plans?
Income-driven repayment plans adjust your monthly federal student loan payments based on your income and family size. They can make payments more manageable and may lead to loan forgiveness after 20-25 years of qualifying payments.
How does student loan interest work?
Interest on student loans typically accrues daily. For unsubsidized loans, interest accumulates while you're in school. After graduation, any unpaid interest may be capitalized (added to your principal balance), increasing the total amount you owe.
What is loan forgiveness and how can I qualify?
Several loan forgiveness programs exist, including Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) for government and nonprofit workers, and Teacher Loan Forgiveness. Each program has specific requirements for employment, payment history, and loan types.
How can I avoid taking on too much student debt?
Consider attending a more affordable school, maximize scholarship and grant opportunities, work part-time during school, borrow only what you need for educational expenses, and understand the long-term implications of your loan choices.
