A college education is an important investment and 贷款 are made available from the Federal and private sectors to assist with the cost. 学生 and parent 贷款 must be repaid. By filing a FAFSA, students and parents may be eligible for 贷款 offered through the Federal Direct Loan Program. 学生 and families may also seek borrowing opportunities through private banks, 信用合作社, and student lending companies.

学生 that submit a FAFSA may be eligible for employment on or off campus through the Federal Work-Study Program.
