How to Apply for a Student Loan
To apply for a student loan, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is a form that collects information about your financial situation and your family’s financial situation.
Once you have completed the FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR will show you how much financial aid you are eligible for, and it will list the different types of financial aid that you are eligible for.
