Have you started by talking to the financial aid office at the college you're interested in?  They'll determine your eligibility for many different kinds of aid--both public and private, subsidized and unsubsidized.  True, you may end up having to take out a private loan (or a combination of things--loans, work-study, etc.)--but they may be able to point you in a better direction than if you try to do it on your own.  Remember: if you don't go there, they don't get the money--so it's in their (the Financial Aid dept.) interest to find a way to get you what you need.  \n\nApologies if you've already gone this route.  Anyway, good luck.

Try FAFSA, and sometimes states have loan help too.  Also, I am not an expert but what about any other of your relatives.

One option is to take out loans.  Try to get subsidized loans first but if you use up all of that, go for private.  As far as I am concerned, it is better to take a few loans and enjoy your college experience and not have to work so much then to be totally stressed out every day of school.  Try http://www.thinkfinancial.com for a private loan.  I used them and it was fast and easy.  Good luck.  College is worth it.

If you haven't already, contact your school to see what institutional aid they offer.\n\nAs far as outside/private scholarships go, try these sites:\n\n* http://www.fastweb.com/\n* http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\n* http://www.scholarships101.com/\n* http://www.srnexpress.com/\n* http://www.scholarships.com/\n* http://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\n* http://www.finaid.org/scholarships\n* http://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp

Hmm, most people I know that go to college have a job help paying for it. If you all help together its a possibility. Or seek a personal loan at the bank

First, file the FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov ). Two of the major Federal Student loan programs -- Stafford and Perkins -- are unique in that they require absolutely NO credit check. In fact, Financial Aid Administrators are forbidden from checking your credit as a condition for receiving these loans. You don't even need to show financial need to obtain an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan -- as long as your school is accredited, you are enrolled at least half-time as a regular student, and your other financial aid doesn't exceed your Cost of Attendance, you will be offered a Stafford Loan. \n\nIf you have "maxed out" your eligibility for Federal loans, there are private companies that will lend you money even if your credit is bad (which you're fixing, I hope?). \n\nSince you don't have a co-signer, you will need to be selective. Don't apply for loans indiscriminately -- every inquiry into your credit is another "hit" on your credit score. First, review the huge list of private loan lenders on FinAid's website: http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml ... Go to each lender's site and read the terms and credit criteria of their loans until you find one that focuses more on one of your credit strengths (job history, perhaps). Some companies you might want to focus on: Access Group, Campus Door, Wells Fargo. \n\nBe careful when searching online for companies that specifically claim to offer loans to people with bad credit (companies like Astrive are questionable because they bypass the school). Make sure the company has a good track record before you commit to a 10-30 relationship with them.\n\nScholarships are always the ideal solution, and I would still recommend applying for as many as you can, but if the application processes won't net you any money before your bill comes due, you should consider either getting a second (or first?) job, either as part of a co-op or work-study program or at an outside company (i.e. Walmart, the Gap, or a temp agency).\n\nAnother good option might be a payment plan.  These are usually offered through the school, but you may be able to arrange something privately.  Examples include http://www.afford.com or http://www.tuitionpay.com\n\nScholarship search sites:\n* http://www.fastweb.com/\n* http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\n* http://www.scholarships101.com/\n* http://www.srnexpress.com/\n* http://www.scholarships.com/\n* http://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\n* http://www.finaid.org/scholarships\n* http://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp

Federal student loans like Stafford and Perkins require no credit check AND no co-signer, so apply for those first using the FAFSA: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov\n\nAs for private educational loans...\n\nIf you have bad credit already, make sure that you don't apply for loans indiscriminately -- every inquiry into your credit is another "hit" on your credit score. Check out the huge list of private loan lenders on FinAid's website: http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml . Go to each website and read the terms and credit criteria of their loans until you find one that focuses more on one of your credit strengths (job history, perhaps). \n\nOnce you get a loan (which will probably be at a higher interest rate than you might like) consider working on your credit score and, when you get the chance, paying off that loan with something that boasts a lower rate. Pay close attention to the rate of the loan you are offered -- it could be close to 15% or 20%, which is very high. Use the loan while you need it but get rid of it as soon as you can (apply the same logic to any high-interest credit cards, too).

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

Yea there is stuff out there. I went to grad school, was in a similar situation. I applied, I was eligible for loans, but no grants.

There are Federal loans, such as the Stafford, that tend to be lenient.  Sit down with one of your school's financial advisors/counselors and discuss this.  Federal loans don't cover the entire tuition if your school is a proprietary school (tuition starts at 24,000 and higher), but they  may accept payments.   If you've got the GPA, look into nurse-specific grants and scholarships.  I'm a nurse and this is what I did.  The only other thing I can think of is to find out from your bank if they offer student loans for folks with "iffy" credit.  Having nursing as a goal may make you a better risk.  Of course, now you're obligated to pass boards!  Yikes!

Have you applied for student loans?  I, too was ineligible to receive grants because of my parents' income.  I paid for my undergraduate degree with hard work and student loans.  Pretty much anyone can receive a Stafford or Perkins loan, regardless of their credit history.  You should talk with the financial aid office of your school.  They can help you with the paperwork and inform you of your options.

Before you try to apply for aid, try learning correct usage of the language. Forms need to be filled out by someone who can read and write without using wanna.  The word you misspelled as ther, is not possessive or even correct for the word, there. There, denotes a place. Their denotes possession. When you've mastered the desire to communicate well, try this question again. \n\nI know of no reputable company that would advance a loan for on- line high school classes.

You should pick a school first.  Then apply for Federal Aid (through school or on internet).  You can also ask for Loan info.  These loans have to be paid back, but not till after you graduate.  Don't take out a loan if you don't have to.  There are always state grants that you can apply for and scholarships that you can get.  I would talk to a finical aid adviser at the school that you are accepted to attend at.  It is also cheaper to go to a two year or community college to get most of you basic classes out of the way.  You really need to check if the classes you are taking at these schools will transfer to a four year college before you take them, because you don't want to waste your time and have to take them over again at the more expensive school.  Also try to take only classes that you need, but sometimes give yourself a brake by taking a class that you think is fun.  It is worth it.  \nI hope you get back to school it is the best thing that I ever did.

Go back to school.  Grants are available and loans can be deferred until you can afford to pay them back.\n\nInvest in your education.
