Federal Student
Loans
We offer Federal
Student Loans through the US Department of Education. Loans available are:
Stafford Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, along with Parent Plus Loans.
Students interested in a student loan or Pell grant, should complete the
FAFSA online
application. The
school code is 016483. A Student Aid Report will be mailed to you
approximately 2-3 weeks once completed online. You may request a paper copy of this form from FIU if the
internet is unavailable. The students eligibility is determined by the US
Department of Education. A Student Aid Report will be sent to the student
and the school . An award letter will be sent to the student from the
school disclosing the types and amount of aid available.
Once you have completed your FAFSA and received your award letter from
the school, you should go to here to
complete your promissory note online. Students must
pay the deposit out from their own funds regardless of loan or grant
assistance available. All loan funds will be deposited into the students
tuition account. Any credit balance remaining will be returned to the
student.

I am currently working for a Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon performing X-ray,
Vascular Ultrasound, and Echocardiograms. This position would not have
been available to me without the education I acquired from FIU.
