Federal Loan Options

Student loans can help cover tuition, fees, books, and other college expenses. Unlike grants and scholarships, loans must be repaid.

At Glen Oaks Community College, we encourage you to borrow only what you need and understand your options before requesting any loan.

All federal student loans require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Types of Student Loans:

  • Subsidized Loans
  • Unsubsidized Loans
  •  Parent PLUS Loans
