Student Loans
Paying for your education is a significant financial commitment and investment. Before taking out student loans, make sure that you exhaust all other types of funding such as scholarships and grants. Once these options are exhausted, you may still have a gap in funding for which student loans may fill.
Type of Educational Loans Available
Student loan funds are borrowed and will need to be repaid. It is important to understand all the terms, conditions, and language that is associated with your loans. Learning about student loans will help you make smarter loan borrowing decisions. For additional student loan information, go to studentaid.gov.
