Before applying for a Student Choice Loan Solution, be sure to follow these steps:
- Fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form found at fafsa.ed.gov.
- Find out what scholarships you may be eligible for:
- Check with your financial aid office for scholarship listings and then apply for
as many as you can. You may be surprised at how many scholarships are available.
While many will not pay for your entire tuition, every little bit you don’t have
to borrow helps.

Choice Loan Solution. On subsidized loans while you’re in school:
