Students can prepare for college, apply for financial aid, and manage their loans and grants, while learning valuable financial literacy skills.

This suite also assists financial aid administrators manage their hectic work environment and organize award packaging, entrance counseling and records and reports.

FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the key that unlocks the door to all kinds of financial aid programs.

Every year students and their parents apply for nearly all types of federal, state or college-sponsored financial aid, including grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs.

The best way for students to complete their FAFSA and TAP applications is online at www.hesc.org, where students can link to the free federal site, learn about the application process and complete the form with ease. They can also explore our Web site to take advantage of opportunities to apply for other scholarships, manage TAP and loans, and have many of their financial aid questions answered.

HESC PIN

Using the HESC Personal Identification Number (PIN), your students can securely go online to check and update their records for student loans or grants. This can dramatically reduce the turnaround time and expense of manual processing for requests for information, student change forms, and other edits.

HESC Student Loan Marketplace

Borrowing for college is a serious decision and a long term commitment. HESC Student Loan Marketplace will provide your students with all the facts and information they'll need to decide what college financing options are best for them.

Students will see real loan terms from participating lenders, sort and compare these products, and ultimately select the best financing option available to them with just one credit application and one credit check.

In addition, the site will provide helpful advice on all kinds of financial topics, including budgeting, credit card awareness and debt management.
