WHere do i get a student loan? ?
I have applied for financial aid, and they offered me a few small stafford loans. now i need to cover the rest and both my banks (bofa and a credit union) dont do student loans. so how do i go about getting the rest? I am doing this completely on my own with no guidance. i have one cosigner. please help?! thanks!
Jespi:
Ask the financial aid office at your school if they have a “preferred lender” list for private student loans. Lenders on that list are lenders that are known to make student loans in that area.
There are a small handful of lenders who are making private student loans right now – if you want to look on your own, you can start with Chase, Discover, Sallie Mae and Wells Fargo.
Chase: http://www.chasestudentloans.com/
Discover: http://www.discoverstudentloans.com/
Sallie Mae: http://www.salliemae.com/
Wells Fargo: https://www.wellsfargo.com/student
All student loan lenders are VERY closely scrutinizing all applications, and accepting only the best of the ones that they receive. If your cosigner has excellent credit, you may well be approved.
Good luck to you – I hope those names helped.
