One of the questions most students ask these days is that of ‘how can I get student loans?’ it seems to be at the top of everyone’s list and for good reason. Because once you’ve worked out a financing plan with a student loan or even multiple loans if necessary, everything else falls into place. There will also be a lot less stress because you would have overcome the first major hurdle to your education and it will indeed help make a huge impact on your future after your education.
Below we’ll look at some facts that can help you understand your options. I’ve simplified the answers somewhat so as not to confuse you with masses of unnecessary gibberish, and I’ve stuck to what Detective Friday used to say years ago on that TV show Dragnet “Give me the facts ma’am!”
Just the facts
Below is a list of tips and facts that are not in any particular order, it is just a collection of useful tips that you can put away, write down the tips that appeal to you and discard the others.
1. Before you decide to take out a loan, it is advisable to talk to your school counselor. They have their finger on the pulse and the latest student loan information that applies to you and have the experience to help you narrow down your search for the perfect loan. While not all loans are perfect, the trick is to find the one that is perfect for you.
2. Many educational institutions today are starting to go paperless and there are many application forms that you can easily fill out at home.
3. The first option to consider when getting a loan is to always look at government bonds first. They normally have much lower interest rates and you can also have longer maturities.
4. Government loans are designed to provide students with financial difficulties and/or other challenging situations in their lives to give as many people as possible the right to a good education.
5. You can find the Federal Student Aid Application Form online and apply online if necessary.
6. Quote “There are 1.6 million ants for every human being on Earth” (this has absolutely nothing to do with student loans, I just wanted to see if you were still awake).
7. Once you have completed your FASA form after it has been evaluated, you will receive a Study Aid Report detailing which loans you qualify for.
8. Once you get a loan, you don’t have to accept it.
9. It is possible to use only part of your loan, this of course depends on the conditions of the specific lender, but it is possible.
10. Private loans normally have a higher interest rate but can be more flexible with the amount of money they can provide.
11. It’s a real buyer’s market, in other words, you, as a borrower, are eagerly sought out by all these loan companies competing with each other. This can give you even more advantage because you could think about negotiating and deal with them even better.
12. Most lenders have an online portal where you can apply for a loan.
13. The Government PLUS Loan System is designed to help parents find the best form of government support for their children.
14. When you complete the government loan application, it is likely that you will be required to have your parents with you as some of the necessary information must be provided by them.
15. When completing a loan application, you must provide detailed information about your current finances, including loans, credit cards, and other pertinent information.
16. You must also provide any details of your co-signers if you have any.
And last but not least…
17. “However, the total weight of those ants is about the same as all humans”
I hope this has helped you a bit in deciding which type of student loan is best for you, good luck with your studies.
