Important Warning on Student Financial Aid Web Sites

"What's in a name? When it comes to a college financial aid web site, similar names are causing a lot of confusion," according to NBC 10 (Philadelphia, PA). The report addresses the confusion that families may face should they mistakenly enter the Web address FAFSA.com (a for-profit site) rather than ED's FAFSA.ed.gov.

The U.S. Government has a number of web sites that deal with Financial Aid for Students. There are also Web sites that "pretend" to be U.S. Government sponsored web sites. These non government College Financial Aid web sites typically charge for services.

For more information visit National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators and also check out the section on this web site scholarship scams.

Important Advice on Student Loans

All student loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Government. If for any reason you fail to repay your student loans it is the U.S. Government that becomes the collection agency. If you default on a student loan it permanently damages your credit rating. Also, defaulting on a student loan will keep you from getting any future student loans, affects your schools rating, as well as the schools ability to offer loans to your fellow students in the future.
Obtaining a student loan is a very serious long term commitment, and not to be taken lightly. MiraCosta College currently has a recommended Student loan indebtedness maximum of $9675. We total all loan indebtedness from all educational institutions.

 

Financial aid includes a variety of federal and state programs designed to provide students access to an education. Financial aid is not intended to provide total support but to bridge the gap between educational costs and available resources. Programs available at MiraCosta College include the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Work Study, Federal Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan. State programs include the Extended Opportunity Program and Services, the Board of Governors Waiver which assists with registration fees, and Cal Grant B and C.
