Your transcript, recommendation letters, and your FAFSA® Submission Summary are the most commonly requested supporting documents.

We recommend that you:

  1. Upload your transcript (unofficial is ok!)

  2. Request at least one recommendation letter to start with

  3. And upload your FAFSA® Submission Summary

...since scholarship providers will often ask for these documents. If you upload them immediately you can then attach them to any application you start with one click.


If your financial aid offer wasn't enough to cover your bill, we recommend you submit an appeal. Learn more about financial aid appeals here.

If you'll need a student loan to cover the rest, begin by researching the lender that will give you the best rate. Most private lenders allow you to answer a few questions risk-free and then get your estimated interest rate. You’re under no obligation to actually get the loan. We recommend checking with Earnest first. Get your rate estimate from Earnest here.
