How can I get a loan for college?
I am a Canadian student and I want to go to university in America. My grades are good, but I am the child of a single mother and we are very poor. I heard that the Canadian government will not grant a large loan for a student who will not study in Canada. In addition, a bank will probably not give me a loan because I have credit history whatsoever. I do not want to give up a dream. Help!
I mean the two people above me are probably just advertisers. I work in a financial aid office at a university in Michigan. My advice is to talk to a financial aid counselor at the University you want to attend. The best advice is to not get a loan through the private enterprise because they have terrible interest rates. Even if you do not have credit counselor will tell you the best option. Most college students have little or no credit, so they are in a similar boat. There are other options, and the college should be to work with you to find the best option to pay your future studies. Good luck!
