Are student loans available for living expenses if I’m not able to work?
I am entering nursing school in the fall and have heard it is next to impossible to work and be a nursing student. Are student loans available for living expenses, if I’m not able to work? My credit is also not the greatest. Fair at best.
It generally depends on the type of loans you are getting and the college you are enrolled at. Most student loans, such as those from the government, are paid the the college or university that you are enrolled at and as such you cannot use them form personal living expenses.
However, their are a number of private student loans on the market which can be paid to the student. In the case of these loans you will have to check details of the loan agreement to ensure that they can be used for personal living expenses.
