Washington College Loans, New:
Washington Student Loans
To begin, students can fill out a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), borrowers can qualify for
funding that ranges from $3,500 to $20,500 annually.
Undergraduates and graduates can borrow through various
federally-backed loan programs to help pay for school.
To qualify, all a student need do is complete the FAFSA,
be a U.S. citizen, enroll in an accredited school and seek a
degree at minimum on a part-time basis. Once a FAFSA is
filed, the U.S. Department of Education will provide the
student, and the Washington schools designated by the
borrower, a Student Aid Report (SAR). The school then uses
the SAR to determine what loans the student qualifies for.
Students may also qualify for a Federal Pell Grant or a
Washington state grant (if they are a current resident
of the state) when filling out the FAFSA. These grants are
awarded on a yearly basis and are extended to students who
apply immediately after December of each year.
The list of participating Washington schools and
universities who accept federal student loans is lengthy.
Providing the school is accredited, and the student is
enrolled in a qualified program the loan can be used to
cover educational expenses. Some of the participating
Washington schools include Seattle University, Walla Walla
College, and the Academy of Hair Design.
