How it works

1. Learn the loan types. Browse plain-English pages on each kind of student loan — federal and private — covering who it's for, how rates and limits are set, and the pros and cons.
2. Compare your options, if you'd like. When you're ready, share a little about your situation using our free form. There's no obligation, and we never sell your information.
3. Connect with vetted partners. We'll help you compare student-loan and refinance options. We keep it neutral — no rate or approval promises.
