As for what the gentlemen a few avatars below me said, he must have went to school eons ago.
You MAY be able to get a PELL grant, which means you don’t have to pay anything back. But, ha, good luck, it’s nearly impossible to get one thanks to our current president.
Yes, fill out a FAFSA form from your school’s financial aid office. But beware, student loan interest rates are NOT low. They are above 7% right now!!! For a government loan!! I couldn’t imagine how high the rates are for a private loan.
There are 2 types of loans – subsidized and unsubsidized. With one, you are paying interest while you are in school. With the other, the government is paying it for you. With all, it’s true you don’t have to pay anything back until you’ve been out of school for 6 months.
be VERY CAREFUL. only take out as little as you need.
Although a single, independent student i couldn’t get ANYTHING other than loans. In the end it was just ridiculous amount of hassle and debt.
