What to Expect:
Student Loan Application Timeline
1. Start With your FASFA
If you’re applying for federal student loans, it’s recommended that you submit your FAFSA as soon as possible. FAFSA forms typically open on October 1 and close June 30. But check your school’s deadline, because those are often earlier. Ohio University and Ohio State University, for example, have a February 15 priority deadline.
2. Assess your financial aid award letter
Once you know how much you’ve received in financial aid (federal student loans), you can determine how much you’ll need from a private lender, like Buckeye.
3. Apply for private student loans.
If your financial aid doesn’t fully cover the cost of tuition, you can depend on Buckeye for competitive private student loans to finance the rest. Each school has its own tuition deadline. We recommend applying for student loans at Buckeye at least two months before that deadline.
4. Sign for the loans, and you’re done!
Once you sign the paperwork for your loans, your school will collect everything needed for tuition, fees and room and board. Your school will reimburse you if any money is left over.
