Hawaii Medical College2022-08-31T21:28:33+00:00

Hawaii Medical College encourages students to make this determination as early as possible. Hawaii Medical College does not imply, promise, or guarantee transferability of its courses to any institution.

Payments for loans will not be to the school, but to a loan servicer that is randomly assigned to you (Examples of those different loan servicers you can get assigned to are: Navient, FedLoan, Great Lakes, Nelnet, etc.).

My Child Is Taking Out A Loan. Am I Responsible For Payment?

Hawaii Medical College2022-06-27T04:16:12+00:00

No. Parents are not responsible for the Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans. Students do not need to have a cosigner on those loans either, even if they are under the age of 18 because the “defense of infancy” does not apply to federal student loans. If a parent is responsible for a loan, it would be the Federal Parent PLUS loan. Not all parents will qualify for the PLUS loan. As mentioned above, generally the student and the student alone is responsible for repaying any and all of their educational loans.

Does Filling Out A FAFSA Mean I’m Required To Take Out A Loan?

Hawaii Medical College2022-06-27T04:15:26+00:00

No. Completing the FAFSA looks at what funding you are eligible for. It is completely up to you if you want to take out a loan or not. Importantly, the FAFSA is just to see what you qualify for. This same rule also applies to any grants you qualify for. Though you qualify, you are not required to request for any of it.

I Don’t Know If I Qualify For Financial Aid. Should I Apply Anyway?

Hawaii Medical College2022-06-27T04:14:50+00:00

Yes. Many students feel that they don’t qualify for aid, possibly missing out on financial aid opportunities by not applying at all. The FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It does not hurt to see what you do qualify for. The FAFSA is the main application for both grants and loans. Without the FAFSA, students are not qualified for any financial aid.
