Why should I complete a FAFSA when the private loan application process may be easier?
While the application process may be easier in some instances, federal student loans usually have lower interest rates and better repayment terms and options than private student loans. Additionally, schools use the information provided on the FAFSA to determine eligibility for other types of financial aid provided by the federal government, from your state, or from the school itself. This aid can include grants, scholarships and work opportunities.
