I just found out that my school cancelled my federal student loans. I am taking late starting classes and wasn't aware that they had cancelled the loan as I usually do not get the money until half-way through the semester. I was told that there was a misunderstanding and that my loan had been cancelled because I was not considered full time because of my late classes. However, I need this money to buy my ...

Hello, I am not finding our High School on your California listings. It is not allowing me to type in our High school name in order to start with the loan process.
What should I do?

Hi, this has been posted a couple of times as far back as a few years ago but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. At http://www.staffordloan.com/apply/ when you select Foreign/Non-US under "school state", the corresponding list that shows up under "school name" is for Online Only schools. Looks like the lists have gotten mixed up somehow. I've completed my FAFSA and am wondering how to proceed to ...

I am going to be a sophomore in college and I am thinking about moving off campus next year. I know I was able to use the loan money I received to pay for my housing (on-campus), but will I be able to use loan money for an apartment if I choose to get one?

I wanted to know how I can find out who my loan servicer is and how I can contact them. I want to postpone my payments on my Stafford Subsidized loan because I am still in school as a half-time student. I have already reviewed what loans I have on the NSLDS, but I want unable to get specific information on them. The link "Click Here For Loan information" was not working on the NSLDS ...

Hi, another post-bacc student. I graduated in December 2012 with a B.A., but I'm returning to school this Fall for a second undergraduate degree (this time it's a B.S.)

My question is: does the six-month "clock" on Stafford Loan repayments start over since I'm a student again, or will I need to begin repayment this June?

Hello,

I have a question about loan deferment through the Peace Corps. On the Great Lakes website, who is my student loan provider, they have posted the following:

Full-time volunteer
(Peace Corps or ACTION program)
Note: Only available to those with their first loan disbursed before July 1, 1993.
3 year limit Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford and SLS loans

Now, my loans were definitely not disbursed before 1993. However, I know of other students who ...

Hi everyone,

My son is a Freshman at UMass Amherst, he recieved a subsidized Stafford loan for his first semester in the amount of $1,733.00.
He recieved a scholarship in January for the Spring '13 semester, great news! However, Umass removed the subsidized (need based)
Stafford loan payment of $1,733.00 that was applied to the Spring '13 semester due to the reduced financial need (scholarship amount).

My question is: Can we request a change to ...

Hi,

I was approved for a Pell Grant and a $9500 a year Stafford Loan when I filled out my FAFSA; this was for Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters. I realize that these amounts are typically divided by two and disbursed twice a year. However, I did not attend school in Fall 2012, but I am registering for Spring 2013 on Monday. If I apply for my full amount of sub and unsub Stafford ...

Misunderstood acceptance of per term allotment. Only accepted partial - realizing now the amount is still given over two terms. (not just the one current) Now I'm down on assistance. Is there a way to go back and change this? Thank you in advance and Happy 2013!
