FREE ONLINE FIT ASSESSMENT

Free Student Loan Assessment With an Immediate Next Step

A free student loan assessment should help you decide where to begin without forcing you into a sales call. Answer a short series of low-sensitivity questions about your federal loans, household, employment, current payment, and main goal. In approximately 3–5 minutes, FedRepay will show an immediate service-fit or free-resource recommendation. You will see why the path may fit, what it costs when a paid service is recommended, and what happens next. This is not a repayment-plan determination, eligibility decision, payment calculation, or forgiveness guarantee.

WHAT WILL THE ASSESSMENT TELL YOU?

What Will the Assessment Tell You?

The assessment identifies the level and type of support that appears to fit your answers, not the federal repayment plan you are officially eligible to receive.

Your result may recommend:

  • Free information or an official StudentAid.gov tool
  • Student Loan Strategy Session for $295
  • Complete FedRepay Plan for $495
  • Annual IDR Recertification for $149
  • Complex Case Planning starting at $695
  • A nonprofit, attorney, tax professional, consumer-protection resource, or another specialist outside FedRepay’s scope
EVERY RESULT SHOULD EXPLAIN
  1. Why the path may fit
  2. What information triggered the recommendation
  3. The exact published price when a standard paid service is recommended
  4. What is included
  5. What is not included
  6. What to do next
  7. Which official or free source may also help

Do not type sensitive personal information into an open-text answer. FedRepay and legitimate federal loan servicers will not need your FSA password to provide guidance.

ACCURACY REMINDER

Choose “I’m not sure” when you do not know an answer. Guessing at a loan type, plan, status, or deadline can create the wrong service-fit result.

SCOPE REMINDER

FedRepay focuses on federal student loans. Private-only loans, active litigation, bankruptcy, involuntary collection, identity theft, certain discharge claims, and individualized tax or legal questions may require a different resource.

YOUR LOANS01
Which student loans do you have?

Which answer best describes your education loans?

Why We Ask

FedRepay’s paid services focus on federal student loans.

Federal loans generally appear in the borrower’s StudentAid.gov account. Do not sign in during the assessment.

YOUR LOANS02
Where do you live?
Why We Ask

Student loan assistance, document preparation, telemarketing, payment, and registration rules can vary by location.

We collect state only. Do not enter a street address or ZIP code.

YOUR SITUATION03
What is happening with your loans right now?

Choose the situation that best describes your federal loans.

Why We Ask

The status determines whether ordinary planning, annual recertification, a complex records review, or a different specialist is the safer starting point.

YOUR SITUATION04
Which federal loan types do you have?

Select every loan type you recognize.

Why We Ask

Repayment and forgiveness paths can depend on the original loan type, consolidation history, and disbursement date.

Direct Loan
A federal loan made under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.
FFEL
A Federal Family Education Loan Program loan, generally made by a private lender and federally guaranteed under an older program.
Parent PLUS
A federal loan borrowed by a parent for a dependent undergraduate student.
Direct Consolidation Loan
A new federal loan created by combining eligible federal education loans.
YOUR SITUATION05
Who services your federal loans?

Which organization currently sends your federal student loan bill or account notices?

Why We Ask

Multiple servicers, transfers, and default accounts may require additional records review.

YOUR SITUATION06
Which repayment plan or status appears on your account?

Choose the current plan or closest answer.

Why We Ask

The assessment uses the current plan only to determine the kind of review that may be useful. It does not calculate eligibility or tell you to switch plans.

YOUR SITUATION07
What are your estimated balance and current payment?

About how much federal student loan debt do you currently have?

What is your current required monthly federal student loan payment?

Why We Ask

These ranges add context to the goal and support level. They do not determine the service price and are never used alone to push a higher-priced service.

YOUR SITUATION08
Tell us about your household
Why We Ask

Income, marriage, spouse loan information, and dependents can affect the questions that require review. The ranges are not used to calculate an official payment.

The assessment does not recommend a tax filing status or provide tax advice.

YOUR GOAL09
What type of employer do you have?
Why We Ask

Employer type helps identify whether a PSLF-focused review may be relevant. The assessment does not certify the employer or confirm PSLF eligibility.

YOUR GOAL10
What is your main goal?

Choose the one result that matters most right now.

Why We Ask

The recommendation follows your stated decision rather than favoring a particular paid service.

YOUR GOAL11
Is there a deadline or notice?

When do you need to take action?

Why We Ask

A real deadline can change the safest next step. The assessment never manufactures urgency or implies that FedRepay controls processing time.

YOUR GOAL12
What kind of support are you looking for?

Which answer best describes what you want from FedRepay?

Why We Ask

This separates advice-only, implementation, annual-review, complex-case, and free-resource needs.

TRANSPARENT PRIORITY ORDER

How Does FedRepay Choose a Recommendation?

FedRepay applies a transparent priority order based on scope, complexity, timing, and the type of support requested.

The assessment is a deterministic service-fit tool. It does not use hidden sales scoring, loan balance, income, or a visitor’s perceived ability to pay as the sole reason for recommending a more expensive service.

  1. Safety, legal, tax, or out-of-scope specialist referral
  2. State or jurisdiction service-availability restriction
  3. Complex Case Planning
  4. Annual IDR Recertification
  5. Complete FedRepay Plan
  6. Student Loan Strategy Session
  7. Free official or nonprofit resources

COMMON QUESTIONS / FREE ASSESSMENT

Common Questions About the Free Assessment

These answers explain what the assessment does, what it collects, and what happens after the result.

01Is the assessment really free?

Yes. The assessment costs $0, does not require a credit card, and displays the service-fit or free-resource result immediately.

02Do I have to schedule a phone call?

No. The assessment is self-guided and does not require a call or human review. A paid service may include a scheduled meeting after the scope, agreement, and payment timing are presented and accepted.

03Do I have to provide an email address or phone number?

No. The assessment displays the complete result on screen without collecting an email address or phone number.

04Is this a free consultation?

No. It is a 3–5 minute automated service-fit assessment. It does not provide personalized repayment analysis, official payment calculations, document review, or a meeting with an advisor.

05Will this tell me which repayment plan to choose?

No. It may identify the type of guidance that appears to fit, but it does not determine federal eligibility or recommend an official plan based on a complete analysis.

06Why do you ask about income and household information?

Broad ranges help identify whether household and repayment variables may require review. FedRepay does not use those answers to calculate an official payment or decide how much to charge.

07Why do you ask for my state?

State laws can affect whether and how a private company may offer or charge for student loan assistance. The assessment asks only for the state or jurisdiction needed for service-availability screening.

08Will FedRepay ask for my FSA password?

No. FedRepay does not ask for or use your FSA password. Federal Student Aid warns borrowers not to share their StudentAid.gov username and password.

09What if I only have private student loans?

FedRepay’s paid services focus on federal loans. The assessment should direct a private-only borrower to an appropriate free or specialist resource instead of selling a federal-loan service.

10What if I do not know my loan type or repayment plan?

Choose “I’m not sure.” The result may show how to locate the information before recommending a paid service.

11Can the assessment guarantee a lower payment or forgiveness?

No. No assessment or private guidance company can guarantee a federal payment, approval, discharge, or forgiveness outcome.

12What happens if the result recommends a paid service?

You will see the exact standard price, included deliverables, limitations, and free alternative. You may review the service before deciding whether to continue.

13What happens if free help is enough?

The result will link to the most relevant official or nonprofit resource. FedRepay treats a free-resource recommendation as a successful outcome.

14Is my assessment saved?

By default, answers remain only in this browser while the active assessment is open. They are placed in temporary session storage only if you expressly choose Save and Exit. No answer is sent to FedRepay to generate the on-screen result.
