Yes, but what about Perkins loans and Federal grants that are given out? The author never mentions any of this…

This article was informative, but I wish I had read this before i had done my FAFSA…but for sure i will let other people know that are going to start applying for colleges read this so they can have an idea what they can expect and what they are getting themselves into.

Thank you…

This article is informative, but does not explain how the individual schools award Stafford loans, or how those amounts are determined. Having checked various bank websites, I see that the Stafford rates are much better. The Stafford website explains their loan limits succinctly. Having read this article and checked other venues, I will accept the loans. As a full time student, wife, and mother, I appreciate a better deal., especially since my eldest is entering college this fall.

I just filed my FAFSA for the first time. I applied to college without financial aid, thinking that would grant me a better chance of acceptance. It certainly did. However, the school I currently attend won’t allow students who applied and were accepted w/out financial aid ever to apply for such aid through the school. This is extremely unfortunate, since I absolutely cannot afford the school I currently attend. I’m in the process of looking for other avenues (PELL grants, etc.) and keeping my fingers crossed. FAFSA was the first step. Now I’m forging ahead :/
