Going to college and getting a good education is a dream that most American young people have. In fact, today it's almost a necessity for any chance at success in your chosen career path. The problem is that many people cannot afford the cost of going to school on their own. This is where federal student loans can be a great help.

These loans are a great option for funding your education as they can allow you to pay for almost all of your college costs with little to no out of pocket expense. They have very long term payment plans and payments do not start until after you have left school for good.

You will need to have some basic information gathered to apply for a loan. These things include your Social Security card, your birth certificate, your photo ID, Your proof of your income and assets (not your parents, yours), your parents tax return for the previous year, your alien registration or permanent resident card, and of course a FAFSA form. Once you have gathered this information you are ready to fill out the application FAFSA form.

The actual process of filling the application out is fairly simple. It should take only an hour or so to fill out the form and get it ready to mail. If you hit a block on filling out the form, there are easy to follow instructions located on the forms reverse side. Once you have filled it all out and have signed it, mail it to the processing center.

Getting the results back will take between three to five weeks for paper and two to three weeks for electronic filing. When you do get your results back it will be in the form of a SAR (student aid report) which restates the information from the application and allows you to make any corrections if needed and states the calculated amount called the EFC or expected family contribution.

Federal student loans can be the answer to your college funding problems. They are easy to apply for and almost every student qualifies for some type of aide. Apply today and take the first steps toward success.
