Department of Education Student Loan Ombudsman

The Walden Office of Financial Aid is always ready to assist with any questions or concerns regarding student loans. If loan issues cannot be resolved, the Federal Student Aid (FSA) Ombudsman Group of the U.S. Department of Education is available to help students. An ombudsman resolves federal loan disputes from a neutral and independent viewpoint. The FSA Ombudsman Group will informally research a borrower’s problem and suggest solutions to resolve the problem. Student borrowers can contact the FSA Ombudsman Group via the following:
