The Department of Education web page provides useful information on a variety of topics.

Prospective college students can find information about the major federal student-aid programs on the Student Financial Assistance web page. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is also available online. This section will also assist you with questions about repayment or consolidation of student loans.

For anyone interested in grants, the Department of Education has numerous funding opportunities listed on its web page. Information about financial and nonfinancial assistance programs available from the federal government can be found on the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance web page.

Parents can find the latest information and useful links on a variety of federal education programs at the Department of Education's home page. For local information, parents can search the Arizona Department of Education web page, where they can locate the school report card section to find information about each Arizona school.

Students and teachers can search the Federal Resources for Educational Excellence web page or the National Library of Education web page, where they will find hundreds of educational resources. Please also visit the Student & Educators section of my web site.


Examples of education inquiries Senator Kyl can make on behalf of constituents:

“I am having problems repaying my student loans. Can Senator Kyl help me?”

Senator Kyl can inquire with USA Group Services, the organization which administers the loans, about the status of your loans after receiving your written authorization.

“My school closed before I finished my program. What about my student loan?”

If your school closed while you were attending, you may be eligible for a partial cancellation of your loan. Senator Kyl can inquire with the Department of Education if provided with the appropriate supporting documentation.

Examples of education inquiries Senator Kyl cannot make:

“My child is having problems with the principal at the middle school. I would like Senator Kyl to help our family.”

While Senator Kyl would like to assist with a problem like this, it is not within his jurisdiction to get involved with issues at the local level. The appropriate body to contact in a case like this is the school board for that school district.

“I do not want to repay my student loans. Can Senator Kyl assist me in getting my loans canceled?”

There are established criteria for the cancellation of loans, which the Senator can provide to you. If you do not meet these criteria, there is nothing Senator Kyl can do to cancel your loans, and you are responsible for repayment.
