Having a hard time getting organized so you can pay off your student loans? The first step is to track down all those loans, along with other financial aid awards you may have received over the years. If you can’t find the paperwork or emails for all your aid packages, visit the National Student Loan Data System at StudentAid.gov. You’ll be able to see all the federal financial aid you’ve received, and the terms for each loan.
You’ll need your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID to log in and see the status for each of your loans. This review can help you formulate a plan for approaching your repayment, or help you decide if refinancing your loans is an option for you.
