If you paid off your entire student loan balance on or after March 13, 2020, you can contact your loan servicer to request a refund on any qualifying payments, as long as they were for one or more of the following types of loans that are eligible for student loan forgiveness:3.

How do I get a federal student loan? To apply for a federal student loan, you must first complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. Based on the results of your FAFSA form, your college or career school will send you a financial aid offer, which may include federal student loans.

Unsubsidized Loans are loans for both undergraduate and graduate students that are not based on financial need. Eligibility is determined by your cost of attendance minus other financial aid (such as grants or scholarships). Interest is charged during in-school, deferment, and grace periods.

Your student loan servicer will send you a 1098-E form if you paid at least $600 in student loan interest. Expect to receive this form by the end of January — if not, reach out to your loan servicer. You can still claim interest payments less than $600 provided you get the exact amount from your loan provider.

If you qualify for student loan forgiveness or discharge in full, you will get a notification and will no longer need to make payments. In some cases, you may even get a refund. If only some of your debt is canceled or discharged, you'll still be responsible for repaying the rest of what you owe.

A co-signer might help you secure a student loan when your personal credit or income isn't strong enough to qualify on your own, but they are equally liable for student loan debt, as much as if they were the sole borrower. You don't want to make someone liable for your loans if you don't have to.

While most federal student loans don't require a cosigner, there is one exception. If you are a graduate student or parent applying for direct PLUS loans and have a poor credit history, you may not be eligible without an “endorser,” who is similar to a cosigner.
