1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing, browsing, or using the website located at studentfg.com (the "Site"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Student Funding Guide ("we," "us," or "our") regarding your use of the Site.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Site. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Nature of This Site — Informational Use Only
Student Funding Guide is an independent, informational resource. All content published on this Site is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, enrollment counseling, or any other form of professional advisory service.
We are not a lender, a financial institution, a government agency, a college, a university, or a student loan servicer. We do not originate, service, or guarantee any loan or grant. We do not endorse any particular school, program, lender, or financial product. The information on this Site is designed to help you understand your options — not to serve as a substitute for consultation with qualified financial aid professionals at the institutions you are considering.
Before making any financial decisions related to education — including borrowing, enrolling, or applying for aid — you should consult directly with your school's financial aid office and, where appropriate, a licensed financial advisor.
3. Accuracy, Currency, and Completeness of Information
We make reasonable, ongoing efforts to ensure that the information published on this Site is accurate, current, and complete.

We cannot guarantee that all information on this Site reflects the most current program details at the time you access it.
You should always verify information directly with the relevant program administrator, government agency, state agency, or financial aid office before relying on it for any decision. We expressly disclaim any warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any content on this Site.
