Your “My Aid Data (MAD)” file, sometimes referred to as "My Student Data (MSD)", is a downloadable summary of your federal student loan and grant history, including loan balances, disbursements, servicers, repayment plans, and more.
It’s an essential tool that helps your SavvyFi Student Loan Coach get a full picture of your loans so they can give you accurate advice (especially if you're pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)).
How do I download the "My Aid Data" file?
Follow these steps to get your "My Student Aid" file:
1. Go to studentaid.gov and log in using your FSA ID and password.
2. From your dashboard, scroll down and click the "View My Loans" button
3. On the “View My Loans” page, click the blue link that says “Download My Aid Data”.
5. A .txt file will download to your computer. This is your “My Student Aid” file.
This data is required before scheduling your session with a SavvyFi Student Loan Coach. It helps your Coach assess your loan eligibility and guide you toward the best repayment and forgiveness options.
