How does financial aid work?
Financial aid's a broad term that covers scholarships, loans, etc. I was wondering for example, Loyola gives you a 32k scholarship. Would that be all the money you recieve? Or later in the early spring, they look at whatever FASFA sends over? #Fall25

Federal Student Aid - When to start paying?
I'm currently a freshmen. How should I go about paying off my FASFA loan? Should I start paying it off now? Do I want it to be paid off before the payment is actually due (2029)? I'd love to hear about other's experience with loans. A Deeper Problem With Financial Aid: I doubt anyone will have an exact answer or solution to what's going on with my aid right now. I used to be able to pay around $50 a month through the official Federal Student Aid website then going to the loan servicer website (Central Research, Inc). I had made 2 previous payments towards my loan on this website, however now when I go there my amount due which I can pay is 0. I look at my previous payments on the website and they don't match up to what I previously paid and what shows up on my bank statement. I'm not sure if anyone can help with this problem, I would still love to hear answers to the previous questions!
