Which is best for you? Parents and students need to learn what it means to borrow loans to pay for college and understand the impact of their options. The Federal Direct Student Loan is an entitlement to the student. The student can choose to borrow a student loan, no matter what the family income may be. The student must be a U.S. Citizen, not be in default of other federal loans, and complete the FAFSA application. Which type of loan they will be eligible for depends on the student's financial need.
Everyone who wants to attend college must fill out what is known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA. This is just the form schools use to figure out how much money they can offer your child toward attendance, plus what kinds of aid the student qualify for.
