I'm looking at FAFSA in order to get financial aid, and i'm looking at Stafford Loans and Private loans, since Stafford loans have a max, i might have to go with a private loan.
My parents made too much for me to get a pell grant so I took out stafford and private loans. its better to get the max on the staffords before you go for the private loans because the staffords have a lower interest rate. Make sure you shop around on the private loans so you dont get stuck with a ridiculous interest rate.
EDIT: I wish I would have been paying the interest on my loans all this time because I've got a few grand in interest piled up on top of my loans.
EDIT: You have to fill out the fafsa for your school to allow you to use financial aid, so thats the first step you need to take.
Need about 40 grand, trying to see how much the grants/financial aid bring it down and then get a stafford loan and private one if I need to. I'm shopping around on Sallie Mae and Citibank.
@ Rmiller and King Dru, yeah thats the only way, deffered payments until graduation but interest payments on principal loan that way you keep the interest rate low.
Cuzzo...Stanford might get you a couple classes for 40 racks...LOL.....Stanford is into the 100,000's.....Im at the University of Phoenix right now and its about 20k every 2 years so about 40k to get your BA.......
