How do I get student loans?
I would recommend parent plus loans and you will get them. Tho there are some other options, see each below: Parent Plus - They are designed to bridge the gap between what you are given and what you need. One good point is that every year you will qualify for more (next year 10k, then 15k etc) so you will only need the parent plus loans for this year and possibly next. Parent plus loans are federal so they carry allot of perks. On the ok side, they have a flat 8.25% interest rate (more than regular federal but way better than private). And on the downer side, your parents will have to start paying on them immediately (where as your regular stafford s will not become due until you graduate or leave.) Perkins - See if your school has these. They are direct from the university and range from 500-4k. They are federal and they have a flat 2% interest rate which is really good! Scholarships and grants - really try hard here. Most people say yea i want to apply for those but don't follow through so there is a ton of money out there! Private Loans - Your last resort. You can contact any of the hundreds of private loan lenders. They will give you what you need however the interest rate is based on your credit score and you will most likely need a co-signer. Beware - these are worse than credit cards odds are you will have a 8-36% interest rate and should you ever miss payments or your credit score takes a hit, expect to have the interest rate move to the 36% area. You will typically pay 2x as much on a private loan as you would on a federal that is the same loan amount. Talk to financial aid - Make an appointment to visit the school and talk in person with either the assistant or director of financial aid. Let them know you have been accepted but your really looking for ways to afford to attend. Pour it on! Schools typically have "other" programs to help reduce your tuition bill that they don't tell you about. I actually did this which my niece (3.9 gpa but came from a low income district, they took 5k off her tuition every year through a "subsidy", which means they just lowered how much she had to pay) Its always worth a try!

Do I get the money for my student loan?
Your loan agency (the government, or a private institution) will distribute the money to your college, usually about 4 weeks after your semester has begun (for a full length semester). The school will then use the money to pay off any outstanding debts you have (for classes, for registration, for tech fees, etc.). Money that is left over, will be given to you in the form of a check, about 2 weeks after that. You then have the option of either returning it to your loan agency (so you won't owe more later, and so you don't reach your loan limit before you have finished your degree)... Or cashing it and sending part of the money back to the loan agency (same reasons as above, plus building up a good line of credit, showing you pay your debts)... Or cashing it and either spending or saving it. I suggest using what you need for books, then sending the rest back to the loan agency, or depositing it into a bank account that will give you interest. Keep this money separate from the rest of your spending cash or it will soon dissapear, and remember, you always pay interest so you always end up having to pay back more than you borrowed (which is why I returned the checks, uncashed, to the government, my first two semesters in college). By the time you get to your last 1.5 years, try saving all the money...because 6 months after graduation, you have to start making large payments to the loan agency, and if you don't have a good job, you won't have the money on hand...so save their money and pay them back with it!

How do I get a student loan quickly?
You can avail loan from any of the PSBs or private banks or other NFBCs. Interest rate would be anything between 11.5%-14%.As loan amount is>4 lacs, you have to provide collateral security to the tune of 100% of loan ie. to get loan of 8 lacs, youhave to provide security (property, LIC , Nsc policy etc...) worth 8 lacs.There would be just simple interest on the holiday period ie. the duration of course plus one year (5 years forB.E ). Repayment starts after one year after you complete your course. After which compound interestwould come into effect. EMI would be roughly 10k for 8 lacs. Maximum of 15 years repayment period is provided.I would suggest you not to go for education loan as many PSBs do not generally favour giving educational loans.Also considering the interest rate and EMI, its better to study with own resources. Worst case, try to close theloan within 5 years, if availed
Can you get a student loan and not go to school?
Nope! Student loan funds are directly deposited to your college account. You don't see that $$ at all. It's like your mortgage. You don't get a $ 200K mortgage loan and not buy the house. The transactions are made to the house owner’s accounts while buying.Otherwise, I can only imagine how many students would gamble their tuition money away to Vegas pretending to have paid their tuition. The abuse of the system would overwhelm Sallie-Mae and college staff. Haha..Didier Champion
Where can i get a student loan paid directy to me?
India: What you are looking for is a product called a "non-certified" educational loan. Sallie Mae used to make that type of loan - they do not offer that product at the present time. In fact, Sallie Mae is one of several lenders who are not accepting applications for non-certified loans at this time. We've had this question here several times, and the ONLY major lender that I have found that is marketing a non-certified loan right now is Wells Fargo. They call this particular product the Wells Fargo Education Connection Loan - you can find out more about it by visiting their website here: https://www.wellsfargo.com/student/under... I don't know anything about the terms or conditions of this particular loan - I only know that they are the one major lender advertising it. You'll have to decide for yourself if this is something that appeals to you. What I can tell you is that you will need a good, steady income, significant assets, and a well-established and very positive credit history to be approved for this loan, or any other private educational loan at the current time. If that doesn't describe your situation, you will be asked to provide a very highly creditworthy cosigner. I hope that helps you - good luck.
