How can I apply for a student loan?

How do I apply for a federal student loan?

• I applied through fafsa for a 2011-2012 pell grant. I want to get an additional small fed student loan. How do I apply for one? Iooked all over the fafsa site and there is no link to apply for a loan specifically. Does filling out the fafsa automatically apply for a student loan also? Thanks

• Answer:

  When you filled out the FAFSA there was a question that asks if you were interested in student loans. If you said yes, then loans would have automatically been included on your award letter from the school. So, if you already have your award letter and were not offered a loan then you must have said no to the question. You need to contact your financial aid office and tell them you want a loan added to your financial aid package. It should be no problem and there is no additional application.
