What they regulate

Federal Student Aid (Education) administers Title IV student aid, FAFSA, and federal student loan programs. It does not replace state loan-originator or broker licensing. Student-loan introductions still need the correct state and federal consumer paths. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. StudentAid.gov home — Federal student aid programs, FAFSA, and loan servicing context — not a state loan-broker licence register.
  2. Aid types / loans overview — Prefer live studentaid.gov tools over mirrors.

Questions this page answers

StudentAid.gov vs Department of Education?

Federal Student Aid is an office within Education; studentaid.gov is the primary borrower/aid portal.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
