An Introduction To The Federal Student Loan Application Process

Your financial aid package is likely to include funds from federal student loan programs and other government-backed offerings. These programs – described below – are administered by the U.S. Department of Education, and provide over $33 billion a year to students attending post-secondary schools.

Important Note: Not all schools participate in all federal student aid programs. Check with your high school guidance counselor or your school's financial aid office to make sure your college or university participates in the federal program(s) you are interested in.
