Your school will use your FAFSA results to determine what federal student loans and other federal aid you\u2019re eligible for.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apply for scholarships and grants.<\/b> Unlike student loans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/college-scholarships\/\">college scholarships<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/college-grants\/\">grants<\/a> don\u2019t have to be repaid. Additionally, there\u2019s no limit to how many you can get, so be sure to apply for as many scholarships and grants as possible. You might also qualify for scholarships from your school depending on your FAFSA information.<\/li>\n<li><b>Accept federal student loans.<\/b> Once you fill out the FAFSA, your school will send you a financial aid award letter detailing what federal student loans and other federal financial aid you\u2019re eligible for. You can then choose which aid you\u2019d like to accept.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use private loans to fill the gaps. <\/b>After you\u2019ve exhausted scholarship, grant, and federal student loan options, private student loans can help fill any financial gaps left over. Be sure to consider as many lenders as you can to find a private student loan that best suits your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip: <\/b>You\u2019ll typically need good to excellent credit to qualify for a private student loan.
