National Student Loan Data System for Students:
- This website is an official government website designed for students to view their federal student loan information and serve as a central hub for student loan related information
- The information found for an individual student is a collection of information available from sources such as universities, loan issuing agencies and the Department of Education

- Students can log in to the NSLDS system if they have already created an account or students can create an account along with a Federal Student Aid ID
