A guide to education financing

Higher education comes with a lot of rewards and opportunities, but it also comes with a lot of costs, from tuition and fees to living expenses. Loans are available, but they aren’t your only option. Don’t forget to explore scholarships, grants and federal student loans before looking into private loan options.

FAQ

Student loan frequently asked questions

Take a look at the most common questions we get about student loans. If you have more general questions, or you’re looking for support options, take a look at our support center.

Do I need to reapply every year?
No. With our line of credit, you apply once. Each year, you simply request additional funds (a “draw”) based on your school-certified amount. Funds are then disbursed according to your school’s schedule.
What do I need to have to apply?

To complete your application, you’ll need:

  • Personal information (name, date of birth, Social Security number)

  • Income information for you or a co-applicant

  • School enrollment details (if available)

  • Requested loan amount for the current term

If applying with a co-applicant, they’ll need to provide similar information. If they’re not present, you can provide their email address so they can complete their portion separately.

How much can I borrow?
Your borrowing limit is based on your school-certified financial need: Cost of Attendance (COA) minus other financial aid received.
What expenses can I use my student loan for?
Funds can be used for any expenses included in your school’s cost of attendance—such as tuition, housing, books, or a laptop. Funds are sent directly to your school. If there’s a remaining balance after tuition and fees, your school will issue you a refund to cover other expenses.
