Check with your county offices. Many times there is set aside money for minorities, which you may qualify to receive.

If you’re going to be in school then you are eligible for a student loan. The best type of loan to get is a federal loan.

Here are the steps you need to take to get one:

1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:

http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don’t need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

4) You can also try to get a grant or scholarship, which is free money that you won’t have to pay back. Look here:

Have you filled out a FAFSA form first? That is always what everyone requires before you can apply for additional loans. Go to www.fafsa.gov and you will have to enter all your financial info. It will then determine how much money the government will give you. You can also look at the school website and apply for grants and scholarships as well. If FAFSA doesn’t give you enough $ from the government to survive you can then apply at www.SallieMae.com. But they also require that you fill out the FAFSA first. No matter how much money you make – you should quality for money from both. Hope that helps!
