    Can you get a student loan for a certificate program? I'm confused, will filling out a FAFSA determine whether or not I'm eligible for grants and Federal Student Loans. I know that most student loans are for people who want to do a degree so how do I know I will be eligible for a student loan for a certificate program. Basically what I'm looking for is a certificate program where I can get Federal Student Loans or Federal Grants. So to be crystal clear can you get a student loan for a certificate program?

    You might be eligible for Federal Student Aid for a certificate program. College Certificate programs are alternatives to College Degrees which are lengthier and more involved. Certificate programs are compressed and focus on one topic, so I understand why you might find this appealing.

    From my experience Certificate Programs have the characteristics of a college graduate degree however not all programs are eligible for Federal Student Aid. To be eligible for Aid under for a certificate program the student must be enrolled and accepted onto a U.S. Department of Education Approved Certificate Program which may make them eligible for $20,500 in Federal Direct Stafford Loan. Hope this helps.
