T S asked:


I am trying to accumulate financial aid for this upcomin fall semester and it is a lot harder than it was a year ago.

I’ve tried applying to 3 different institutions for private student loans and we keep getting denied. And I also have a cosigner. My cosigner has the same credit score that she did a year ago (when she cosigned on my loan for last year) and she isn’t getting approved other…..so what else factors into the loan decision? What makes this year different from last year?

Also, what other sources of financial aid can I try…private student loans were my last resort.

ross.cook asked:


I have bad credit, but need a student loan. Stafford loans only offer $200 because I am on scholarship, but I still need money for books and rent. I have a co-signer with good credit available. Are there any loans that will just look at their information instead of my own?
And where would I find these?

I’m a college student with bad credit but need to pull out more loans so I can cut back at work. The Stafford Loans aren’t cutting it.

Mac Hine asked:


Maybe if I was applying for finanacial aid – but, I am using my student loans – they are different. What do my taxes have anything to do with my student loan elgibility?

Colts Fan asked:


I am a single mother of three, so even a good income has to be very well budgeted. I have roughly $100,000 in defaulted student loans, so most consolidation and other programs are out of the question for me. I have been asked to pay more than I can afford monthly for these loans. What can I do to both get these paid and save my credit?

Tiffiany J asked:


I am 28, a single mother of 2 and I am looking to finally start attending college this year. I know that I qualify for pell grants and such to pay for tuition but does anyone know if you can recieve student loans on top of that to help with living exspenses while attending classes. I have a job I just cant work full time anymore and attend classes and still be the kind of mother my kids deserve to have. I can still work part time I just need help paying the bills while I’m in school. Please if anyone has any info on this let me know.
