About Student Finance
Last Updated: August 26, 2026
Student Finance is an independent educational website created to help students and families better understand the financial side of higher education.
Our goal is to provide clear, practical, and easy-to-understand information about student loans, FAFSA, scholarships, grants, tuition costs, financial aid, repayment options, and student aid programs in the United States and Canada.
Paying for college or university can be complicated. Students may need to understand application deadlines, financial aid requirements, loan interest rates, borrowing limits, repayment options, and changing government policies.
Student Finance aims to make these topics easier to understand.

Our Research Process
Whenever possible, we use primary and authoritative sources.
These may include:

Financial aid rules, tuition costs, interest rates, deadlines, and eligibility requirements can change.
