An egg-cellent way to check your FAFSA® form information was submitted correctly? Reviewing your Student Aid Report (SAR). Here’s how 👇 go.usa.gov/xzhce
How to Review Your Student Aid Report Log in at fafsa.gov. Click “View or Print your Student Aid Report” from the “My FAFSA” page. If you need to make a correction after reviewing, you can select “Make FAFSA Corrections.”

#DYK that consolidating your student loans may lower your interest rate and your monthly payment? Take a closer look here: go.usa.gov/xzhxY
Five Things You Should Know Before Consolidating Student Loans ​ Your monthly payment may go down, but you may have to pay longer.​ If you have unpaid interest, your principal balance will go up.​ Your new consolidation loan will generally have a new interest rate.​ You can lose credit for your payments toward income-driven repayment forgiveness.​ You don’t have to consolidate all your federal student loans.​
