To obtain student loans you will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
This is an application that is published by the United States Department of Education. You can obtain one from the college's financial aid office, online at fafsa.ed.gov, or at your local library. You will need your tax return to complete this form. Once complete, provide it to the college's financial aid office or submit it online for processing.
To obtain student loans you will need to complete an entrance counseling form/session.
This can be done online or on paper. The financial aid office will tell you how to complete this requirement. This is required before you may receive any of your student loan disbursements. It goes over your rights and responsibilities for repayment of your student loan.
Your college's financial aid representative will inform you which student loans and eligibility amounts you qualify for before having you complete the master promissory note. This is the student loan application. You always have the right to choose your lender.
