Student Loans Help addresses to U.S. students planning to take out federal student loans in order to finance their post-secondary education. Its aim is to answer the frequently asked questions about federal student loans in a reader friendly way, while in the same time providing up to date and complete information. Federal student aid, such as student loans, grants, and tax credits, accounts for roughly two-thirds of direct aid to postsecondary students. Therefore, federal student aid is by far the most important source of direct financial support for postsecondary students. The website covers all types of federal student loans, such as Federal Perkins Loans and Direct Loans (which comprise Subsidized Stafford Loans, Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, PLUS Loans for parents and for students, as well as Direct Consolidation Loans). It also explains how and when to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is the very first form you have to file in the student loan application process.
