Grants, by definition, are gifts of money that you never have to pay back. Loans DO need to be paid back.\n\nThe Stafford subsidized loan offers a lowered interest rate, and this is available to students once they have filled out the FAFSA. Additionally, the Stafford loan which is not subsidizes already offers a low interest rate in addition to a deferred payment plan, which allows you to hold the loan without paying it until 6 months after graduating from college.\n\nDepending on the state that you live in, different grants are available to students through the FAFSA. In California, for example, the Cal Grant is offered. In California, CalGrant A offers up to $2520 to qualifying California students who attend a state school, and a maximum of $8322 for qualifying California students attending a private school. Qualification is based on many factors, including GPA and your parents' annual income.\n\nI personally receieve the maximum Cal Grant A amount given to qualifying California students for attending a private school-- $8322. Additionally, annually I receieve a $2259 Stafford unsubsized loan, and a $1241 Stafford unsubsized loan.\n\nThe PLUS loan is also offered to parents only. The PLUS loan does not offer deferred billing, but does offer a low interest rate.\n\nOnce again, qualification to most financial aid programs is achieved by completing the FAFSA.

Federal loan borrowers are not meant to be able to consolidate the same loans more than once.  Currently, however, there exists a loophole in the system that allows students who have borrowed and consolidated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program to "reconsolidate" their loans through the Direct Loan Program. HOWEVER...\n\nThe Higher Education Act has just been reauthorized and, effective July 1, 2006, this loophole will be closed. After July, FFELP consolidation loan borrowers may only receive a Direct Loan consolidation loan for the following reasons: (1) for the purposes of income-contingent repayment if the loan has been submitted to the guarantor for default aversion; (2) if a lender denies a FFELP borrower a consolidation loan or income sensitive repayment; and (3) for the purpose of resolving a default. Direct loan consolidation borrowers may not reconsolidate unless new loans are added.

you can request that your loans be deferred. they can usually defer them for one to three years, so you can have time to get your feet under you to be able to make the payments.  you can also ask them if they will work with you on the monthly payment amount.  they may be able to let you pay a smaller amount each month.

In the US fill out your FAFSA form to find out, you will more than likely be able to get a loan, but it won't be great.\n\n\nwww.fafsa.gov

Average...describe average. Fill out the FAFSA, they will put a code of that paper as to how much you have to pay out of your pocket, it will also tell you whether you can get a pell or not. THe school can tell you how much pell you get. Unless that code list all zeros, you can't get full pell..My FAFSA showed I should be able to pay 900.00 year and I only make $600/ month. I don't know where they get those numbers. Whatever pell doesn't cover, you should be able to get a loan for. You can only get the amount of loan the school says you are eligible for. A freshman undergrad can get max 2625. subsidized..Doesn't mean you will get it all. if the school says all you get is 300...that's all you get. Most of the time it will cover tuition, r & board..However, don't expect it to cover books (at least all of them), fees (there are hidden), supplies.. WIth no more than I make, I barely got enough loans and grants to cover room and board and utilities..I didn't get enough to cover car expenses to school, books, fees, etc. GL

Go to your college financial aid office and ask them. Good luck!

Only if you go into teaching or nursing, there are programs for loan forgiveness. I have included the sources for loan forgiveness.

Yes. You will need to contact your loan provider and submit your acceptance letter from the school that you are attending. The amount will be deferred until you graduate. Mind you the interest will still accumulate and will have to be paid back in the end.

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.

I myself have quite a few student loans through a private college.  Our financial aid department did most of our loans through Citibank, which offers a consolidation of your loans w/ minimal monthly payments that I'm paying now (about $5 a month for every $2,000).  Most banks want to take your debt and consolidate it (it's how they make their money), so I'd shop around or ask your financial aid department for suggestions of banks that will work in your favor.  Also, try looking into the bank your checking or savings account is at, they usually offer discounts to customers.  Hope this helped a little.

Take out a student loan.  They have the best interest rates and you can pay it back once you graduate.

it sounds like you're looking for Direct Loans. Is your inquiry about Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans (sometimes referred to as Direct Stafford Loans)? If so, you need a *Federal* web site, so if you're getting to a site that's under construction, you're probably looking in the wrong place. The website is here: http://www.dlservicer.ed.gov/\n\nThe phone number to call depends on what you need (you can see a list on the "contact us" page of the above site. For generic questions, try 1-800-848-0979.

I got a job at the university I am attending.  Most places let full time employees go to school there for free. It means that I can only take classes part time, but I was not up for getting myself into more loans like I did when I was an undergrad, and I don't have enough money saved to pay full price.  \n\nYou've already checked into financial aid, I assume.  Grants are another good place to look.  Sometimes you can even get an award or grant from your undergraduate institution.

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.

I never heard of paying for one semester on your own to qualify again. I do know that if you have too many "W" or withdrawals/late drops that it will effect your financial aid, but you must accumulate a certain amount. Also if you are a full time student and you do not complete the minimum 12 units you need to notify financial aid with an explanation. Also depending on how low below the required units you complete, you may have to repay them back all or a portion of the Aid awarded to you.
