Try going to the bank at which you have an account to find out what sort of school loans are available. Try other banks in your city to find out who can offer you the most.

More than likely, though, you will need your college to send the bank a formal letter and your schedule (to prove you are registered for classes in the fall). From what I have heard, the banks paid out during the first week of school, to ensure that students went classes and didn’t drop out with the money. They also paid the school directly, and not the person.

Try SalleiMae — they have a lot of options.

Hope that helps.
