Applying

Student Assistance is a financial decision with long-term implications. Before you rush into the application, take some time to think and learn about borrowing money to pay for school and how this decision fits within your bigger, long-term plans.

• Have you chosen a school and program that will be a good investment in your future?
• Have you considered all the ways you can pay for school?
• Do you understand how repayment works?
• Are you ready to manage your Assistance funding for a successful future?
