Helpful Student Loan Tips:
1. Complete the Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)® First
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your first step in applying for financial aid, including federal student loans. This free form, available online, helps determine your eligibility for grants, work-study programs, and federal loans. Some states and schools also use the FAFSA to provide additional aid.
2. Work with Your Financial Aid Office
Reach out to your college's financial aid office to explore all available sources of aid before considering private student loans. Accepting a private loan too early could reduce your eligibility for federal, state, or institutional assistance.
3. Apply for Scholarships
Before turning to student loans, apply for scholarships to help cover tuition costs. Scholarships range from small amounts to full tuition coverage and often require an essay. School guidance counselors and the Department of Labor's scholarship finder are great resources.
Partnering for Your Educational Success
Through this partnership, college students can access various loan options, including private loans1 for those needing additional support. FSB and ISL Education Lending work together to ensure that students get the financial support they need to pursue higher education in a way that makes sense for them.
With a focus on affordability, flexibility, and accessibility, this partnership helps to ensure that students have the resources they need to achieve their academic goals.2
