Far as I know, private loans are based on credit. So I do not think there is one that gives to students with bad credit.

I suggest stafford loans.

Private Student Loan, Bad Credit?

We Answered:

Roll:

Instead of your dad cosigning your loan, a better option might be for him to apply for a Parents' PLUS loan.

Unlike the alternative (private) educational loans, the PLUS loan is offered with a fixed interest rate of 7.9 or 8.5%, which is far preferable to the variable rates on private loans.

If he has such excellent credit, it's almost a sure thing that he will be approved for the PLUS, because the lending criteria is more relaxed than for other types of educational loans.

Though the loan will be in his name, the two of you can work out an agreement - and you could even sign a contract with him - so that you'll make the payments when they become due.

Also, unlike the Sallie Mae loan that you're worried about, the borrower has the option of paying the interest as it becomes due, or deferring it until 6 months after the student leaves school.

For more information on the PLUS loan, you can visit the Department of Education page that explains the program here: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/s… or you can ask at your school's financial aid office.

Good luck.
