I feel like I should be in a hurry to get what loan is necessary for summer classes! What do I do? I have done my FAFSA and that's it so far. Do I need to do another FAFSA for the fall/spring as well? What loans are best to take out for these? thanks! nichole I am wanting to start graduate school in june of this summer.

You can't "transfer" your Federal aid from school to school. Each year, you must fill out a FAFSA form - check out http://www.FAFSAOnline.com for tips and a link to the US Dept of Education online FAFSA application. The FAFSA gets sent to whatever schools you list on it and they will then send you an award letter informing you of what you have been granted in terms of financial aid. At that point, you may apply for the Stafford loan- http://www.GradLoans.com offers both Stafford loans and private loans. Hope this helps. Best of luck! Hello Karen,

I have found a college that I want to apply to and was wondering how I change my Federal Aid from undergraduate school to the graduate school of which I am applying for the fall 2008 year. I am not sure if I am supposed to call Federal Aid office or just put the new college when accepted on the Federal Aid application? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
