What financial aid application options do you have?

For more than ten years, the Student Loan Network has helped students and families like you get information and access to the funding you need for higher education. We'll help you get started with our free college scholarships program, ScholarshipPoints.com, and our free college scholarship search site, StudentScholarshipSearch.com.

After you have exhausted all resources searching for scholarships, it's time to apply for federal student loans such as the Stafford loan and PLUS loan. If federal financial aid and scholarships aren't enough, you can investigate private student loans, which are non-need based, credit-based student loans. Graduate students should also investigate graduate student loans.

After you complete the FAFSA apply for a Stafford Loan

  • Fixed interest rate - 5.6% (subsidized, undergrad) 6.8% (unsubsidized Grad)
  • Stafford loans do not require a credit check or cosigner
