Check Your Stafford Loan Application Status
Please allow at least one week for a Stafford Loan certification request to be sent to your school. After this time, you should check with your Financial Aid Office to ensure that they have received a certification request and have processed your application. If your Financial Aid Office has not received a certification request, please call Sallie Mae at 877-788-4775 (press #3) to check the status of your application.
Once you have completed the Stafford Loan application, you may still need additional funds to cover the entire cost of your education.
If You Require Additional Funds
Consider a Private Student Loan
If the Stafford Loan doesn't cover your total cost of education, a private student loan from the Student Loan Network can help. Use it to help cover any education related expense such as tutors, laptops, books, and travel. With competitive interest rates and no application fees, a private student loan is a great option to supplement your financial aid package. Click here to learn more a private student loans.
