If you are a teacher in a low-income school district, your student loans may be forgiven....\n\nIf you received a Stafford Loan on or after October 1, 1998, and you teach full time for five consecutive years in a designated low-income school. (This applies to FFEL Stafford Loans, Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, and in some cases, Consolidation Loans.)\n\nIf you have a loan from the Federal Perkins Loan Program, you might be eligible for loan cancellation for full-time teaching at a designated low-income school or teaching in certain subject areas. You can view the list of teacher shortage areas here: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/pol/tsa.pdf\n\nAs far as which schools qualify, well, there are too many schools to list here. To search the database of schools that qualify for the forgiveness, try this site: https://www.tcli.ed.gov/CBSWebApp/tcli/TCLIPubSchoolSearch.jsp\n\nOnce you know that you meet the criteria, you can complete a Stafford \nor Direct loan cancellation form here: http://www.dlssonline.com/tools/show-pdf.asp\n\nIf you meet the criteria for Perkins cancellation, you will need to speak to the school(s) from which you received the loan(s).

You should be getting a letter from the IRS about where the money went. That is standard practice. If not, the obvious one would be an outstanding Student Loan. They will take your money if you have not paid them. Have you done your research? Call the IRS and ask.

Try this:\n\nPrivate people lending money for just about anything.  They bid the rates down and your rate is based on your story and your ability to pay back.\n\nOf course if it is for school, why not a student loan?

Yes, many states offer loan forgiveness programs if you go into teaching, either to teach in a critical shortage area (math, science, special ed and reading/ESOL) or sometimes they do it by geographical area (like agree to teach in a "D" school in the inner city, for example).  Many people find teaching to be a rewarding career and most of the loan forgiveness programs do it in segments, like forgive $2500 for each year of teaching.  \n\nIf you post your area we might be able to help more--what you got your degree in, etc.

Student loans are tricky, they are the kinda debt that really can never go away. They cannot be included in bankruptcys, and are run partially by the government. My suggestion is to call the student loan office and see if he can activate his forbearance. The forbearance will get rid of his current balance and charge him only intrest until the forbearance runs out. its like starting over. They will offer differing terms of forbearance (Mine is 16 months maximum for the life of my loan.) That is the best bet. If that is not an option he needs to get somthing worked out. If his co-signer haad any estate or any inheritance they can legally seize it for the loan. As for him, they can sue him for it. They can levy against his tax returns and garnish his wages. In the long term they can prevent him from being able to own a house, or get any sort of loan what so ever. He needs to call them and get the account straitend out.\n-good luck if you have any questions email me

Contact them immediately and set up an arrangement to pay them or borrow from friends or family to pay them back.  They can garnish your wages.  When they do, it will be on their terms.

Better check with student loan requirements.  Things are getting tough for people not paying these loans back.

You can talk with your university about getting a computer loan. I had several friends that got their computers this way and didn't have to pay back the loan until they graduated.

You could be a prime candidate for loan forgiveness (or cancellation), depending on what types of loans you have and where/what/who you teach (and how long you have been teaching).  See the link below under sources for the specific wording of the regulations that govern teacher loan forgiveness.  \n\nPerkins Loan Cancellations are made for special education teachers; teachers in low income schools (schools eligible for funding under Chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of '81); and "teachers of math, science, foreign languages, bilingual education, or any field of expertise determined by the state education agency to have a shortage of qualified teachers," and "providers/supervisors of the provision of services to high-risk children from low-income communities and their families."\n\nStafford and Perkins loans each have their own criteria and their own forms.  Look into both of them (if you have both loan types). You will need to request cancellation forms from each company (lender or service) who holds your loans.\n\nEffective July 2006, teacher loan forgiveness provisions are being expanded.

first you have to complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.\n\nthis will tell you how much of your own money you will have to spend each year (don't panic, you can borrow this money)\n\nafter that, you see if you have anything left to pay after you subtract any grants that you are eligble for\n\nif you still owe money, you will need a loan\n\nI got a loan from www.wellsfargo.com even though I have a recent bankruptcy

FYI: I solved my school tuition cost problem by working for an employer who offers 100% tuition reimbursement.  Also, did you know that some student loans are forgiveable if you work in an improvished area for a designated amount of time.

If you are planning to be a teacher, some states award grants that pay off school loans if you promise to teach in a state school for a certain period of time, following your graduation.\n\nAlso, if you are not studying to be a teacher, but would be interested in that field there is a program that is run through AMERICORPS where they train to you teach and place you overseas and you get paid for teaching AND they help pay off student loans. Check out the website for more info.

Save enough to pay off the school is your first step, then use Americorp to help pay your current tuition (interest rates on student loans are higher now than a few year years ago).  You may also think about "consolidating" your Stafford loan to get a fixed rate before June 30, 2006.

You should probably go to the fafsa.ed.gov website. From there, they have a link to the Direct Loans website. You may need to contact them to possibly see what they can do to help you. \n\nGoing into default on loans can have really bad consequences. So I urge you to check in with them to see.
