CHECK YOUR CREDIT BEFORE APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID
CREDIT CHECKS before applying for financial aid. You should always check your credit reports before applying for a loan. Identity theft is a serious problem, and you don’t want your plans to be foiled because someone has been using your name and social security number to open up accounts in your name and possibly racking up debt in your name as well.
The Federal Trade Commission provides information about credit reports.
