Students in the U.S. can get government student loans from either the federal government or a state government. Students in Canada can get government student loans from either the Canadian government or a provincial government.
A student whose home lies within a territory of the U.S. has reason to inquire about loans provided by the territorial government.
In the United States, all government student loans are based on financial need. The student initiates his or her application for the loan by completing a FAFSA. Any students, who hesitate to complete a FAFSA, perhaps because they fear that they would not qualify for a loan, should go online and obtain a FAFSAcaster.
What is the FAFSAcaster? The FAFSAcaster allows a student to calculate his or her eligibility for one of the government student loans. The online FAFSAcaster offers information on the various types of academic pursuits that can be financed by government student loans.
If the information on the FAFSAcaster were to tell a student that he or she qualified for a government loan, then that student would undoubtedly want to know how to get such a loan. Other information on the same website as the FAFSAcaster lists the various sources of the government student loans.
That list of sources might cause a student to have more questions that relate to government student loans. Counselors, who can be contacted through the FAFSAcaster website, stand ready to offer students some helpful answers. The website with the FAFSAcaster operates under the name “Knowhow2go.”
