What student loan options do you have?

The Student Loan Network, for more than ten years, has helped students and families like you get information and access to the funding you need for higher education. We'll help you get started with our free college scholarships program, Scholarship Points, and our free college scholarship search site, Student Scholarship Search.

After you have exhausted all resources searching for scholarships, it's time to apply for federal student loans such as the Stafford loan and PLUS loan. If federal financial aid and scholarships aren't enough, you can investigate private student loans, which are non-need based, credit-based loans for students.

Graduate students can apply for a Graduate PLUS loan to cover tuition, books, supplies, housing expenses and more.
