Student loans are a type of financial aid. Besides student loans, financial aid also includes grants, scholarships, and work-study. Learn more about student loans from ACC’s Financial Aid office.
You may also get a student loan from a bank or other lender; however, we highly recommend considering federal student loans first.
Only borrow what you need. You are not obligated to take what is offered. Spend time calculating your expenditures and income for the entire semester. Our semester-based budget can help. If you need help figuring out how much you need, meet with a financial coach.
