Federal Stafford Loan Program

 

Stafford loans are provided by private lenders under a federal government program and provide an excellent educational funding resource for US citizens and certain eligible non-citizens. International students in the US are not eligible for Stafford loans, but US students studying abroad or directly enrolled in an approved foreign school should apply for as much Stafford loan funding as possible and apply for a private loan to meet any remaining need.

 

To apply for a Stafford Loan, you first must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. After the FAFSA is processed, your school will review the results and you will receive an "Award Letter" informing you about your loan eligibility. You may then apply for the Federal Stafford loan. If you have not already submitted your FAFSA, you can complete the FAFSA online at FafsaOnline.com.
