Apply for a loan

To borrower most federal student loans, you will need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to determine your Expected Family Contribution. Depending on the type of loan, your college may also require that you complete a separate institutional application. Contact a financial aid administrator at your college to determine if an institutional application is required.

Once your loan eligibility has been determined, you will most likely need to sign a loan application and/or promissory note, which your college or lender will provide.
