How to Apply for Student Loans | Student Loan Planner

If you’re looking for financial aid, the first place to start is by submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You might be awarded grants, scholarships and federal student loans. But even with your financial aid award package, you might still not have enough to cover all of your educational costs.
That’s where private student loans can help. Private student loans can bridge the gap in funding to make sure you have the funds you need to attend school. In this video, we’ll cover how to apply for student loans from private financial institutions.

Thank you so much. Really helpful 🙏

You're very welcome!

Are you able to get your money before school starts? I am studying internationally and need to prove i have a certain amount before the school starts (which is through a loan)

[@StudentLoanPlanner]

Usually the disbursement period for refunds is about three to four weeks into the semester, yet certain schools may have a particular timeframe that they follow. You may want to contact your school directly.

[@dfv671]

Brand new to student loan. If I want to purchase a computer using my student loan, what is the process to pay for it?

[@StudentLoanPlanner]

You should connect with your lender and school on how to retrieve your student loan. Here is a blog that may help as well: www.studentloanplanner.com/what-can-student-loans-be-used-for/

[@melissalarios3639]

Should I borrow semester per semester the amount I need or ask for as much as I think I will need in total to graduate?

[@brozingamer1791]

By year is the way I did it, I’d take out a loan that reflects my aid for the year

How do I go about physically getting my loans. I just recently submitted my FAFSA form and I start school this fool, yet I have no idea what to do next.

[@maidelisr]

I start dental school in august and the first day of school I have to pay more than 5k on materials . Do you recommend any loan I can apply where I can get the disbursement before I start ? Thanks in advance

[@StudentLoanPlanner]

You may need to reach out to your school's financial aid office, they may be able to work with you and make an exemption. Sharing this blog just in case: www.studentloanplanner.com/how-much-can-borrow-student-loans-limits/

[@godofdestruction3446]

Do I apply for University first or apply student loan first ?

[@StudentLoanPlanner]

You can apply to university first then once you've been accepted you can fill out your FASFA and choose which school to receive financial aid offers from.

[@gisele853]

I’ve been stuck with verification from fafsa thinking a student loan from the bank might be my only solution at this point, how do you apply for these types of loans ?

[@StudentLoanPlanner]

Try contacting a FAFSA rep before moving onto private student loans. After you have exhausted all federal student loan options, here is a blog to get you started with private student loans: www.studentloanplanner.com/when-apply-private-student-loans/. Here is another blog with banks we work with:www.studentloanplanner.com/private-student-loans/. Again, do your due diligence in trying to get some form of federal financial aid first.

“Which is good because you should only pay loans if you expect to pay them back” kind of a monstrous thing to say given how predatory and understaffed lending institutions are

[@sambranson6258]

do you have any recommendations on grants/loans for adult students returning to finish a bachelor's?

I definitely would like to apply for student loan asap $11k Also how much Time does it take.

[@StudentLoanPlanner]

It depends if you're going the private or federal route. We recommend applying for federal first and if that doesn't cover the cost of education to seek out private.

[@d3r3kyasmar]

I dont know where to start. Should i apply first to the college and then apply for student loan? Or is it the the other way around?

[@nstf2]

@@d3r3kyasmar you would pretty much apply to the university first, then if you get accepted in they’ll normally walk you through the loan process

[@d3r3kyasmar]

@@nstf2 thank you

[@MrsNicoleF]

Shame on you for suggesting that the financial aid office is not looking out for the financial well-being of their students "because it's not their job". This reeks of self-promotion and desperate direction toward private loan borrowing. Double shame. Private loans are the LAST loans a student borrower should turn to in pursuing higher education due to higher interest rates AND more difficult repayment terms. Well done on knowing the basics. Now, do better in presenting them in a less self-serving way without minimizing the hard work done by financial aid offices all across the country.
