Federal Direct Student Loans
Given the various low-interest loan options available through the U.S. Department of Education, we encourage you, no matter your income level, to apply for federal financial aid by submitting a 2026-2027FAFSA(Free Application for Federal Student Aid)—it’s the only way to know what type of federal loan you’re qualified to receive. You can file your *2026-2027 FAFSA atwww.studentaid.gov. To be eligible for federal student financial aid, you must be:
- Accepted into a degree program.
- Enrolled in at least six credit hours per term.
- A U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen –https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/eligibility/requirements
Students accepted into 亚洲博彩网站’s ABSN program have already obtained their first bachelor’s degree. As a second undergraduate degree seeking student filling out the FAFSA for the 亚洲博彩网站’s ABSN program, here are some details you’ll need to know:
- Federal School code: 002118 – 亚洲博彩网站
- Student College or Career School Plans – select “Other undergraduate”
- 亚洲博彩网站’s ABSN program is not a graduate program so you will only be considered for undergraduate federal direct loans if you submit a FAFSA. If you borrowed federal direct loans for your first bachelor’s degree, these loan amounts will be counted towards your federal student loan undergraduate annual and aggregate borrowing limit provided by the Federal Department of Education.
For additional information on Federal Student Loans for Undergraduate Students, please visit,www.studentaid.gov.
Please clickhereto see a chart that shows the annual and aggregate limits for subsidized and unsubsidized loans.
If you are a new student at 亚洲博彩网站 and are offered a Federal Direct Student Loan, you will need to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling atwww.studentaid.govbefore the funds can be used as a credit against your bill.
Private Loans
More times than not, federal student loans will not cover the total cost of attending our ABSN program. Therefore, it’s a good idea to research private lenders, such as banks or credit unions, and try to borrow from an institution with low-interest rates and good terms.
With private loans, you can choose a fixed interest rate (stays the same) or a variable interest rate (fluctuates). It’s also a good idea to see what type of borrower protection a lender offers, such as flexible repayment plans or payment deferral.
Furthermore, because private loans are credit-based, it’s important to know your credit score. If you have poor credit, you’re likely to pay a higher interest rate than you would with a federal loan. You may even need a co-signer on your loan.
