Federal loans are a type of financial aid that must be repaid. They help cover the cost of education. Information from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine eligibility for federal loans. Students can also have private/alternative loans for additional funding; however, this should be used as a last resort.
Eligibility
To be eligible for federal loans, students must be:
- degree-seeking
- enrolled at least half-time (six hours) in courses that correspond with your degree program.
- meet the requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress
Borrowing money for college is a serious financial obligation. In addition to the principal borrowed, interest is charged for the use of loan funds. Consider how much you can reasonably afford to repay. The Loan Department encourages students to borrow only what is needed.
