So all that to say, she should look at the financial aid packet sent to her after filling out the FAFSA and get loans that way.

Is that what you were asking?

One of my loans is through Sally Mae. I did not choose it. i just chose what loans I needed and that was done automatically...
Thanks Crystal. We did the FAFSA and according to them she has no need based on our income, and we are nearing the end of what we plan to contribut to her education so she is now forced to look at a couple of minimal private student loans. I'm just not sure where to start or what steps to take.
