dont listen to people trying to sell you loans if they use a yahoo email account. think about it.

the best type of loan to get is the parent plus loan, but only if you are still a dependant (under 24, not married, etc…)

the thing is, the loan is in your parents name, but you can pay them back, and nelnet or suntrust can postpone their payments while your in school.

outside of that, if you need private loans, try www.teri.org

they are a non-profit org that have looser standards for credit, but the rates tend to be higher…

i wont try and recommend an actual company for private loans, as the standards are higher, as it would be an unsecured loan…

good luck.

oh yeah, i would try to get some scholarships to, but those are never gauranteed, so i didnt bring it up.

The Federal Perkins Loan and Stafford Loans are the best loans to get for someone with bad credit. You won’t be able to get a private loan unless you have someone with good credit to cosign for you. You can read more about student loans here:

Your best bet would be to try and get a grant or scholarship. This is free money that you won’t have to pay back. Here are some good sites to check out:
