What are the eligibility requirements for a Nelnet Loan?

Asked a year ago
To be eligible for a Nelnet Loan, there are a few key requirements you must meet. Firstly, you must be enrolled at least half-time in an eligible college or university. Additionally, you must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident. A valid Social Security number is also necessary. Another key requirement is maintaining satisfactory academic progress set by your institution. Furthermore, you should not have any previous defaulted federal student loans. Meeting these general eligibility criteria is important, but it's also vital to note that each loan program may have its specific requirements. It's advisable to check the specific eligibility guidelines for the loan program you are interested in to ensure you meet all necessary requirements and can make an informed decision.
