FAQS

I am interested in learning more about financial aid for college.  Where can I find the resources?

I have defaulted on my student loan and cannot afford to repay it.

If you are unable to afford to make payments toward your defaulted loan, you should complete a Statement of Financial Status along with evidence of your current financial situation, which shows your inability to pay (i.e. paycheck stub, copies of billing statements) and send it to the servicing agency or the collection agency servicing your account. Based on the information provided, a payment plan which is both acceptable to the agency, and affordable to you, can be established.

If you are having any other problem with student loans, please provide written details to my District Office, along with a signed Release of Information form.  I will be happy to make an inquiry on your behalf.
