Step 1: Fill out a FAFSA
Step 2: Review your financial aid award
Step 3: Apply for a U.S. Bank Private Student Loan
Step 1: Fill out a FAFSA
Fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSASM). It determines how much you and your family must contribute each year for your education. Check with your school to make sure you have all the forms you need since some schools require you to also use their own applications.

Request a PIN
To speed up completing your FAFSA, you can sign it electronically using a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Request a PIN from the U.S. Department of Education.
|
You can get a FAFSA:
- Online;
- At your high school guidance office;
- From the college you plan to attend; OR
- By calling 800-4 FED AID
Complete the FAFSA and submit it to the processor as soon as possible. A few weeks after you submit your application, you and the schools you have designated on your FAFSA will receive your Student Aid Report. This report includes information from your application, including the amount you and your family are expected to contribute for your education.

Step 2: Review your financial aid award
Your college financial aid office will use your Student Aid Report to create a custom financial aid package for you. They will send this information in an "Award Letter." This letter will show your expected family contribution and the types and amounts of financial aid for which you qualify. At this point, you need to let the office know if you accept or reject the aid offered in the package.
Your award letter may note that your family has the ability to pay a specified amount toward your education. But that doesn't always mean you have the funds available. Many families need additional money to meet their expected family contribution. U.S. Bank Private Student Loans can help.

Step 3: Apply for a U.S. Bank loan
After making use of grants, scholarships and federal loans, there still may be unmet education expenses. Private loans are often used to help supplement federal loans when they are not sufficient to cover the full cost of education. You may apply now, request information, or call 800-242-1200 for a U.S. Bank private student loan.
