Loans
Loans are awarded after your eligibility for grants, scholarships, and Federal Work-Study (FWS) is considered. Your financial aid package may include loans in the form of need-based and/or non-need-based financial aid. Financial Aid (including loans) does not cover audit or non-credit courses.
You can view the total amount of federal loans you have borrowed on the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). The site displays information on your loan amounts, outstanding balances, and loan status.
