Elsie Said:

Help! I need a LARGE student loan?

We Answered:

You need to apply to some Canadian schools. Thing is, in order to study abroad, you need to come up with the money up front, and you can't apply for loans in that foreign country. You can talk to some Canadian lenders, but I don't know their policies re: student loans for foreign study.

Annette Said:

Complicated student loan situation..please help!?

We Answered:

scholarships.onlinewebshop.net - it provides some tips about applying to US federal and state grants for college students.

Ray Said:

Is it possible to get a student loan from a bank without a cosigner?

We Answered:

If you have decent credit you should be able to get a loan with out a co-signer.

The best bet is to go to the financial institution of your choice, and discuss your situation with a personal banker. They should be able to come up with a solution for you.

Rick Said:

How do you fix a student loan that is over what you originally borrowed?

We Answered:

Have you exhausted all forbearance or deferment options? Or have you inquired about income-based payment plans? If you haven't, this can be your first consideration.

I understand your priorities of your bills. Housing, transportation, and food should be your first and most important priorities.

But perhaps you can stop having a cell for a few months by claiming it is lost or stolen; you won't have to pay any penalties to cancel if you're in a contract. Perhaps you can change your grocery spending habits by buying non-brand items, and hunting down and using coupons everywhere possible. Or perhaps reviewing your car insurance to see if you're getting covered for something you don't need and get a cheaper rate. And plan your trips or try not to drive as often to save on gas.
