Louisiana Student Loans
Funds are available to Louisiana-based students to help
fund college and other related expenses. By completing a
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
borrowers can qualify for funding that ranges from
$3,500 to $20,500 annually. Undergraduates and graduates
alike can borrow through various federally-backed
programs to help pay for college. Based upon financial
need, students can qualify for both subsidized and
unsubsidized funding.
To qualify, the student must complete the FAFSA, be a
U.S. citizen, enroll in an accredited school and seek a
degree at minimum on at least a part-time basis. After
the FAFSA is filed, the U.S. Department of Education
provides the borrower, and the Louisiana schools
designated by the student, a Student Aid Report (SAR).
In some cases, students will find they qualify for a
Pell Grant or a Louisiana state grant. These awards are
on am annual basis and are extended to students who
apply directly after the beginning of each calendar
year.
The list of participating Louisiana universities and
vocational schools who accept federal loans is a long
one. If the school is accredited, and the student is
enrolled in an approved program, the loan can be used to
cover educational expenses. Some of the participating
Louisiana schools include Louisiana Tech, the University
of New Orleans, and the Baton Rouge Community College.
