Your school will use your FAFSA results to determine what federal student loans and other federal financial aid you qualify for.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apply for scholarships and grants.<\/b> Unlike student loans, college scholarships and grants don\u2019t have to be repaid \u2014 which can help keep your future costs low. There\u2019s no limit to how many scholarships and grants you can get, so be sure to apply for as many as you might be eligible for. You could also qualify for scholarships through your school depending on your FAFSA information.<\/li>\n<li><b>Take out federal student loans.<\/b> If you need to borrow for school, it\u2019s a good idea to take out federal student loans first. This is mainly because federal loans come with federal benefits and protections, such as access to income-driven repayment plans and student loan forgiveness programs. Additionally, most federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/no-credit-check-student-loans\/\">student loans don\u2019t require a credit check<\/a>. Once you fill out the FAFSA, your school will send you a financial aid award letter detailing what federal student loans and other federal aid you\u2019re eligible for. You can then choose which aid you\u2019d like to accept.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apply for private student loans with a cosigner. <\/b>After you\u2019ve exhausted your scholarship, grant, and federal student loan options, private student loans could help you fill any financial gaps left over. Be sure to consider as many lenders as possible to find the right loan for you. Compare not only interest rates but also repayment terms and cosigner release requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you decide to take out a student loan, be sure to consider how much that loan will cost you in the future.
