Student Freedom Agreement is an income-contingent funding option that should be considered just one part of a student’s overall financial aid package.  It is not intended to replace any state or institutional aid, or any federal grants, work-study, or Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans.  Instead, a Student Freedom Agreement is available to cover a student’s remaining cost of attendance after those other aid sources are considered, as a potential alternative to private student loans and Parent PLUS loans.
