Welcome to FastChoice
FASTChoice allows you to compare loan terms and rates, selecting up to five loan programs at a time.
In accordance with 34 CFR 668.14(b)(29)(ii), an institution must, upon the request of the applicant, discuss the availability of Federal, State, and institutional financial aid. The CalArts Financial Aid Office is available to discuss all financial aid options with prospective and continuing students, and their parents. Students and parents may qualify for loans, or other assistance, under Title IV Programs of the Higher Education Act (HEA). In some cases, the terms and conditions of Title IV HEA loan programs may be more favorable than private educational loan provisions.
