Welcome to FastChoice
We recommend that you always complete the appropriate year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
Completing a FAFSA and submitting any additional required documents will ensure that your maximum Federal Title IV, state and institutional scholarship, grant and loan eligibility is determined first.
Information about the most common federal, state and institutional financial aid programs can be found on the UWGB Financial Aid Office website at https://www.uwgb.edu/financial-aid/.
Generally, the terms and conditions of federal, state and institutional programs are more favorable than those of private educational loans.
Private loans should be considered a last resort.
