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