The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) central database for student aid. NSLDS receives data from schools, the federal loan programs, and other ED programs. The NSLDS Student Access website at https://studentaid.gov/ provides a centralized, integrated view of your federal student loans and grants so you can access and inquire about them. You can also download a copy of your NSLDS file here.
