Know Your Student Loan Balance
View your loan history through the National Student Loan Data System, the U.S. Department of Education's central database for student aid information.
National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of Education's central database for student aid and provides aid information, including Title IV loans and Pell Grants. NSLDS tracks this information from the financial aid approval stage through the closure stage.
Data is transmitted to NSLDS from schools, agencies that guaranty loans, the Direct Loan program, the Pell Grant program, and other U.S. Department of Education programs.
You can view your NSLDS information by logging into studentaid.gov. Your profile will provide personalized information like your federal student loan balance, disbursement dates and contact information. You can also view information on your federal loan servicer(s).
