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

You might have to take out a very low interest college loan that you start to pay back after you graduate. Good luck.

The school that you plan to attend should have a list of available grants and applicatuon procedures.  If not, go to  http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2005-2006/english/types-loans.htm  and you should get all the information that you want.\n\nGood luck!

If you are indeed half-time, your federal loans (and most private loans, too) should be at an "in-school deferment" status until after you graduate. Only if you drop *below* half-time status will you need to begin repayment.  So...\n\nCheck with your Registrar (or whatever comparable office determines your credit-load and graduation status) to ensure that they do indeed consider you at least "Half-time" (not to be confused with "part-time" or "less-than-half -time"). Sometimes, lenders aren't always properly notified of their students' enrollment statuses -- particularly if your "anticipated graduation date" has changed since you first borrowed your loans. If your school says you are "half-time," then the most you should have to do is complete an "In-School Deferment" form for each lender you have. This form, which your Registrar certifies, will let your lender(s) know that you are eligible for deferment.  Simple as that! You can download the Stafford Loan form here: http://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/attachments/FP0606SCH.pdf\n[If you have Perkins or any private loans, you'll need to get  similar forms from the loan holders.]\n\nUntil this gets straightened out, though, don't just let those bills sit there collecting dust; you might need to make a payment or two. The last thing you want to do is is become delinquent (or, worse, default) on these loans before you're even done with school.  If you can't make a payment, contact your lenders, explain the situation, and see if they can offer you a deferment.  If they can't do this they should, at the very least, be able to offer you a forbearance on your loans \n\n* The primary difference between deferment and forbearance is that, in a forbearance, interest will accrue on all your loans, even on subsidized ones. However, forbearances tend to be easier to obtain than deferments.

Why not go to school full time and live on grants on loans until you complete your education.  This way when you find a decent job after graduating, you'll still live on "just enough" to get by (after loan payments) but at least you'll have a college degree and earnings potential.

get as much financial aid as you can. financial aid is a guaranteed loan that you won't have to start paying off until you graduate and parts of it won't start to accrue interest until you're no longer in school.  the interest on them is generally much lower than normal school loans gotten directly from a bank.\n\neven if you get a full scholarship, it might even be worth it to take out as much financial aid as you can and simply invest it.  these loans are too good to turn down for the most part.\n\nthere's nothing wrong with having more than one loan out at a time. just make sure you keep track of them and pay on time when it's time to start paying them back.

graduate programs and schools offer a variety of programs to  help pay for the education.  While loans are available, both secured and unsecured, there are also departmental grants, grad assistant stipends, work programs.  don't forget to check with your employeer, they may be willing to cover some of the cost if it helps with your job, and don't forget to check with who ever has your undergraduate loans, some programs will stop the loans while your at grad school.

Save up before hand. Also you can  get student loans and/or grants and scholarships. Just apply in the financial aid office. I never got a loan but did get both a scholarship and grant (you don't have to pay these back). Also another thing I did was work at the University. You could find a flexible job there that works around your classes and only work up to 20 hours per week.

1. You don;t have to if:\n- you get enough money\n- you don't want to attend this school\n\nUsually the school will offer loan for its students (the loan can come from school finance, or goverment, or some companies, banks..).  If not, you're still able to appy loan from  banks and/or goverment.\n\nThe process is very simple, everything you'd need is your information (social number, birthday, the shcool you're attending,...) and signature for the promissory note that prove you will pay back after graduation some years.\n\nBut the contacts are varied, so for sure you should read very carefully to have right decision.

Look into a Pathways program. You can earn college credits while you're still in school. It will save you a lot of time when you graduate from high school.

My sister paid for hers by working full time during the summer and not spending any money. Then she went to a community college for two years because is was cheaper than a state college or university. Because she paid for these two years out of her pocket, up front, she was able to use that as a tax write-off and get most of the money back because of some bill that bill clinton passed.  This helped her pay for first semester tution when she transferd to a state collge, which is still cheaper than a university.  \n\nShe paid for all of it out of her pocket by working full time/overtime during the summer, and then working full time while going to school. working more than 20 hours however is not recomended while taking classes.\n\nAlso it depends on what you are going into. If you are going to be a teacher, and if you plan to teach in a rural area, and you take out the right loans, you might get it paid off for you, just for teaching in a rural area or poor school district. Im not possitive how that works though.

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.

check out http://www.fafsa.ed.gov\n\nThere are grants and scholarships you can get as well, which do not require that you pay them back.  Many of the grants and scholarships require that a completed FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application be completed and submitted with the grant or scholarship application.

I think it depends on how the school is accredited.  I once taught at a technical school, and I believe they got the Department of Education to sign off on the program so they were able to offer federal grants and loans.
