depends.  \n\nfill out the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. and submit to the schools you are looking at.  Depending on what funds they have available, what you are eligible for will determine the package you get.  People usually are eligible for more than they think!

It varies greatly by school, of course.  Nationally, the average undergraduate student graduates with $19,202 in debt.  This data comes from a NPASA study dated 2003-2004.  "Debt" here consists of Stafford and Perkins loans.  \n\nWant more data?  One quarter of undergraduate students borrow $24,936 or more, and one tenth borrow $35,193 or more.) These figures increase by about 3% or approximately $550 a year. When one includes PLUS loans in the total, the average cumulative debt incurred is $21,814.\n\nMore worrisome is that the amount of *private* educational loan indebtedness (which is much harder to track) is on the rise, since fewer parents are willing to borrow PLUS.

Grants and Federal Loans. Fill out the FAFSA online and check the box that says you are interested in work-study and student loans. You won't have to begin paying them back until 6 months after you graduate. It is how I'm paying for school, as an undergrad Junior you qualify for 10,500 in loans per year I believe freshman get 3500. The true amounts depend also on the state you live in, I think.

Money to pay my school tuition.  I really don't want to fall to student loans.  I got disqualified for student grants because I make higher than the requirement income amount (b/c currently I'm working full-time).  Yet, I'm going to a university next fall and it's going to be $5000+, and I didn't want to work full-time so I can focus school full-time so I can finish up and graduate.  It's taking me 10 years to graduate because I've been on my own and working fulltime.

Depends on the state u live in, I've only heard that teachers can apply for that.  In some states they will forgive all or part of the loan.  In my state they need teachers and you can get $4 grand a year for up to 4 years.  Found this on staffordloan.com\n\nUnder certain circumstances, the federal government will cancel all or part of an educational loan. This practice is called Loan Forgiveness. To qualify, you must:\n\n* Perform volunteer work;\n* Perform military service;\n* Teach or practice medicine in certain types of communities; or,\n* Meet other criteria specified by the forgiveness program.

Use the entire portion that is the difference, all student loans are treated as cash paid. Depending on your year in school will determine if you are eligible for the "Hope Credit" (first two years) max credit of $1500.00, or the "Lifetime Learning Credit". Figure which of the two would be more advantageous to use. You can also check and see if the "Tuition and Fees" deduction would be a better choice.

It depends on the type of student loan - are you the parent or student and is this a private or government-backed loan?  The article below covers this topic in detail.

The way student loans work (or at least federal ones) is that you have to apply for them, through the Financial Aid office at your school.  After you apply, you will find out what kind of Aid you are eligible for - subsidized loans, unsubsidized loans, grants and workstudy.  Grants and workstudy do not have to be paid back.  After you graduate, unless you defer repayment, you are given a 6 month grace period before you must start to repay your loans.  There are 3 different categories for repayment, they each are a different monthly payment.  It all depends on what you can afford.  The longer you drag out repayment, the more you end up paying because of interest.

They are grants. You don't have to pay them back, unlike student loans. You have to be an undergraduate and be able to show need, though you can get portions of your student loans forgiven under certain circumstances. The website below will answer most of your questions.

Depends on your degree and what government agency you approach.  The bulk of them make you work for a government agency as they pay off your loans.

Now that is a thought to ponder. \n\nI know of a person who borrowed around 55k for college and has to pay around $600/month on student loans. Can this person find a job making enough money to pay this straight out of college? And if they do, how long will it take the person to pay it off? I think that there should be student loan reform programs in place to help kids pay off their loans in a reasonable fashion. Consolidation is not enough.\n\nDepending on the major, the government will cancel portions or entire balances of loan in exchange for working in a particular field for a specified number of years. For example, a teacher can cancel certain loans at a rate of 20% per year having the whole deal canceled in five years as long as they work in an under-served area. Sounds like indentured servitude to me.

Thanks to the recent Deficit Reduction Act, a LOT will be changing with Federal Student Aid.  Student Loan interest rates tend to change every year, but this year its different because not only are the rates changing, they are becoming fixed (so when they do change, they change "for good").\n\nCurrently Stafford Loan interest rates are reset every July.  They were capped at 8.25% but for the past 3 years have been much lower than that cap (in some years, rates were lower than 3%).  For the 2005-2006 academic year, these interest rates are as follows:\n\nFor borrowers in school or in their grace period : 4.7% \nFor borrowers in repayment: 5.3%\n\nBeginning July 1, 2006, Stafford loan rates will become FIXED at 6.8%.  If you want to consolidate to "lock in" today's 4.7% (or 5.3% if you are already in repayment) do it before July 1st.  You can save yourself a lot of money by knocking 2% off your rate.\n\nPLUS loan interest rates will also become fixed.  Currently they are variable and, for 2005-2006, are set at 6.1%.  Beginning July 1, they will become fixed at 8.5%, though most lenders offer additional benefits which could lower this rate to 7.25% or more. PLUS loans can be consolidated, too, (with each other or with any loans borrowed by the same person) so anyone with a PLUS might want to do so to lock in today's 6.1% rate.\n\nPerkins loan rates won't change.  They've been fixed at 5% for ages.

I had really crappy credit and was able to get a student loan.\nStudent loans aren't the same as bank loans, you fill them out along with your federal grant application and they base the award on factors like what year you are in, if you've progressed since the last loan (so you can't be a freshman for five years), if you're making acceptable grades (C average) and your need.\n\nSign up for everything, grants, work study and loans so the loans will be the smallest award since the others will cover the rest of it - and you will have less debt in the end.\n\nAnd turn your car in and cut your losses.

It depends on what kind of debt you already have.  If it's student loan debt, banks tend to allow for that, since it's an investment in you.\n\nSince you have a good credit score anyway, there's no harm in asking for the loan.  What's the worst they can say?  Other than "no", they might want a point or two more on interest - that might be the rub.

Don't do it.  It's an insanely high price to pay for a thousand-dollar loan.  As for how much you have to pay monthly, that's impossible to tell unless you can also tell me how long they are giving you to pay it back.\n\nDon't cash it.  You'd be paying $37 monthly for principal and interest, plus a $37 monthly charge.  This would make a total of $74 month.  That's pretty close to an effective rate of about 73% and you would pay a total of around $1,600 for a $1,000 loan.
