July financial aid tip of the month

Many sources of financial aid are available to help college-bound students pay higher education expenses, including federal and state grants, scholarships and Federal Stafford and PLUS Loans. In addition, merit-based scholarships and need-based grants are often available at the local level.

All these programs may help ease the burden of paying for college; however, sometimes it is not enough to pay college costs. When that happens, parents and students may take advantage of private student loans, usually called alternative loans.

In addition to providing Federal Stafford and PLUS Loans in Kentucky, The Student Loan Peoplesm, Kentucky's only nonprofit student loan provider, offers the Advantage Loan. This loan helps bridge the gap between the cost of college and the financial aid a student has received.
