I am paying for school with no financial aid because of a loan from another school that defaulted...?

set up a meeting with the advisors in the financial aid office of your school. you will have to declare emancipation from your parents. that means they will not be able to declare you for income tax purposes in the future but you will qualify for far more aid than you would under their income. \ni'm pretty sure that load in default will continue to haunt you anyway. you need to notify that loan company that you are still attending classes so they can defer the loan while you are still studying. don't stop until you get someone to listen to your story.

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.

My tuition will run about $3000 a year including books and classes, fees etc. I own my home so I can't count room and board. I get no financial aid, it is all paid with my paychecks.

The best thing is contact your schools fin. aid office. That way they can tell you what the status of your grants and loans are.

If her loans are thru the Dept Of Ed, yes.   Anytime a person who was a student and has educational loans then returns to school, she can get a forbearance for a certain length of time.  But I would look into if the loans are subsidized or not...interest still accrues on the unsubsidized loans, where no interest accrues for the subsidized ones.  If there are unsub'd loans I would suggest that she pay what she can on them, due to the interest.

As was previously stated, check the website www.fafsa.ed.gov, and look for contact information.  There is a toll-free number (1-800-4-FED-AID) on the site with live operators who can help you.  Also, contact the financial aid office at the school you are attending, either in person or via their website.  Something as small as a wrong address, misfiled paperwork, or library fines can keep you from receiving your financial aid if you have already been approved and are simply wanting to accept your funds.  \n\nAlso, for future reference, check through your school,  google or another search engine to see if your particular state gives additional grants (for, example, California issues Cal Grants, which is funding above and beyond the normal Pell Grant issued by FAFSA.)  Some schools may also provide a chance to apply for scholarships, which is more 'free' money.  And don't forget to check the website www.fastweb.com, the 'FastWeb Scholarship Search'.  Best of luck to you!

That depends partly on what types kinds of aid you have and what dates your school has set as their "payment period" (for example, September 1st through December 15th, or whatever dates they choose -- usually these dates are close to the first and last days of classes)\n\nSchools can disburse Federal Stafford Loans as early as 10 days before the start of their payment period.  However, some schools will disburse the money to your student account early but then take a few days before they can cut everyone's checks. Other schools don't allow any money to enter the student's hands until classes have begun or until after the add/drop period.  This is generally done for security reasons -- they don't want students enrolling for a week, taking Federal funds, withdrawing, and disappearing with money they haven't earned.  \n\nIf a school has a default rate higher than 10%, it must wait for 30 days before it can disburse funds for a first-time, first-year borrower (e.g. Freshmen who have never had loans before).  You can look up your school's default rate here: http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/defaultmanagement/index.html\n\nSome types of aid takes longer to disburse.  State aid, for example, can take several weeks, and Pell grant funds take a little longer because the school must confirm eligibility criteria before disbursing it.\n\nYour school is required to notify you before crediting Stafford or Perkins Loan funds to your account, so you should be given some heads-up as to when your refund will be available.  Just ask your school's Financial Aid Office or Business/Bursar's Office for a timeline -- trust me, they get this question a lot!

You will have to bring your defaulted loan back in good standing.  Once that is done, you should be able to defer the payments while you return to school.

You speak to the financial advisor of that school.  You can apply for loans and grants.  They will assist you with all you need to know in paying for school.

Go to the financial aid office and ask.  Often times ome paperwork hasn't been completed.

It all depends.  I got my first disbursement of my Stafford loan yesterday.  The way it works is, if you still owe money for your classes they will deduct that cost, then send you the balance.  You do not get the money until after you have been in classes for a few weeks.  Do you get a Pell grant too?  If so that usually pays for all of your semester classes and books.  I always get a refund from that too.  That check comes about a month into the semester.  You can get the information from your local college by calling the financial aid office.  They can help you over the phone if you give them your ssn.

When you signed the promissory note for your student loan, one of the "Rights & Responsibilities" that you agreed to was that you would repay your loans even if you do not graduate, do not obtain a job in your chosen field of study, etc.\n\nThat said, it sounds like you might be a candidate for a Economic Hardship Deferment, which would allow you to defer payment of your  loans (including any the interest on any subsidized loans).  These deferments can be hard to obtain, though, particularly if you have income.  However, if you are not eligible for this type of Deferment, you can apply for student loan forbearance, which is much easier to obtain.  In a forbearance, you will also not be required to repay your loans -- however, they will continue to accrue interest during this time.\n\nWhatever you decide to do, make sure you call your loan holder (usually a lender [like Citizens Bank] or a servicer [like Sallie Mae]) before you miss any payments.  Good communication is the best way to get a lender to work with you.

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!

Hi,\nI would say it depends a little bit on the situation.  If you meant that you have student loans with each of these colleges, most likely you would not have to pay the loans back before you went elsewhere.  You are able to defer your loan payments while you are in school.  However, if you owe the individual institutions money, you may have to pay it back first.  Most colleges require that you have your account current with them before they will release your transcripts to you.  Without your transcripts, it makes it more difficult to enroll in another college.  How many credits did you earn?  There might be ways to enroll in a small college without disclosing that you attended elsewhere if you don't mind losing a few credits.  I'm not sure on that.  If not, start a payment plan to get current.\nGood luck!
