OMG!! this just screams disaster. PLEASE listen.

If you do this you will end up paying back way more than you borrowed, unable to pay it off anywhere near quick enough due to interest rates etc and will end up blacklisted on your credit rating. Please listen to someone trying to save you a whole lotta heartache that will go on for YEARS.

After I got myself into Uni as a mature student (24) I did my degree over a longer period of time by taking less hours so I could GET A CASUAL / PART TIME JOB or two, and live very strictly on a budget to put myself through uni and share a crappy house with a flatmate.

As a result less than a few years after graduating I own my own home and other than that am pretty debt free. Before all this I got myself into all sorts of trouble taking out ‘loans’ and not getting ahead, just further in hell. It will get to the point where you don’t want to answer the phone because you already know who it is- the debt collectors.

Take my advice. I work for a bank.

This is a pretty standard question. Without spending too much time in a financial aid office, there is plenty you can do get the process started.

Start by going to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and filling out the online form for federal student aid. After finding out what you are eligible for in terms of subsidized stafford loans, you can figure out if that is enough to finance your tuition and expenses. In most cases, it isn’t. If you find that you need more money then you are offered, you may want to try a private student loan.

The best thing to do is compare the different private lenders out there, which can be done at http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml

Most of the rates are very similar but do a little research and pick one that you think is best. I would suggest Think Financial. The application process is very quick and easy, and the check is sent directly to you so you can use the money for whatever you want. The limits are much higher with private student loans, up to $40,000 per year. You can find out more information about a Think loan at http://www.thinkfinancial.com . Good Luck.

*** Please Read *** To those that answered you are not able to use scholarship money for living expenses…. they are most definitely wrong. 1st – You must look at the usage for the scholarship. Before anything you need to either look at the documents that came with the scholarship/loan for the terms, and if it does not state I would contact the people that gave you the scholarship itself. You can ask them if you can use extra money for room/board. If you got a lot of money, they will first apply it towards the tuition/expenses for going to school. Secondly you would want to apply it to books/materials. Lastly you would put it towards your room/board. If you get loans, they can give you loans up to the cost of attending the school which includes tuition/books/room/board. The loans/govt assistance goes to the school first. As another person stated, you can then contact your school and they will be able to mail you a check for the remaining credit. And on a personal note, why would you pay $800 a month in rent when you can get something cheaper off campus? That is just wasteful and frivilous. As an individual, I would not take advantage of the people giving you a scholarship because they might not be so inclined to assist you further if you are wasting their money. And well if you are getting loans, then you are just making it harder for you to pay the loans off when you finish college.

If it is a Federal Student Loan, you would need to have a FAFSA on file with your award package already determined by your school. That would be the best/
