The Paying for College section of eCampusTours.com includes information about financial aid, including the various sources of financial aid available such as scholarships and student loans. eCampusTours helps students understand the different types of federal student loans and private student loan programs that are available and how to apply.

A variety of student loan lenders offer benefits for students through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Lower fees up-front mean bigger checks for books and supplies. Reduced interest rates save students money during school and beyond. eCampusTours helps students find the right lender.

Students and their families can check current interest rates, do some budgeting with a student loan repayment calculator, and read about the potential tax benefits of education funding. Students who create an eCampusTours portfolio may enter to win a $1000 scholarship and may download a free college funding guide that explains the various sources of education funding. 

Getting a college degree is an important investment. Students need to know that a lack of college funding should not cloud their vision.  Financial aid is available if they know where to look.
