Answer by Judy
I believe I read that you can not consolidate federal student loans.
Why would you want to? For convenience?
If you consolidate with a bank, you will only pay higher interest rates.
Convenience will never be worth that much money.

Question posed by alienzarecool: Smart idea to pay off private student loans with federal loans?
I’m a sophomore in college, and as of now, I have $ 20,000 in private loans. Now, once I become a junior/senior, I will get up to $ 10,500 each year in federal loans. Should I just use the federal loans to start paying off my ridiculously high interest rate private loans? After all, most of the federal loans will be subsidized, and by the time I graduate, I will have about $ 27,000 in federal loans, and maybe only a couple of thousand in private loans if I use this method of paying them off. I’ll consolidate the federal loans together, and pay off the private loans ASAP(again, should only be $ 2000-$ 3500 if my calculations are correct.
Note:I have the ability to start paying off the private loans while still in school through sallie mae. The interest on 3 of these loans is 14.25%!! And one with 11.25%. Federal loans are less than half of this.

Answer by Praizegirls
I would say that your idea is a good one. You should talk this over with someone at the financial aid office at your school. They could crunch the numbers, find any loopholes, etc. Good luck!

A question asked by Scott S: Can student loans be written off in a bankruptcy?
I am filing for bankruptcy and have student loans. Are they going to be taken care of through the bankruptcy?

Selected answer:

Answer by UnknownX
Yup, but you won’t be able to buy a car, a house, or use credit cards for over 7 years.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

A question from Diamond: How do study grants, scholarship and student loans work?
I would like to do my Masters overseas next year. I’ve read in some of the (potential) schools’ websites that they offer things like student grants, scholarships and student loans.

What are these exactly and how do they work? Which one is the best option?

Most comprehensive answer:

Answer by james K
Hi Mate, grants, scholar or student loan are 3 different thing but for 1 reason they exist which is to help the student.
Grant and scholar is similar, you don’t have to pay back, they work as a gift of cash.
In other hand, loan will required you to pay back, and student loans probably would not charge you interest.
You can check more of grants or scholar information over the net.

A question from Ashley: Do you have to apply for federal student loans thru your school or can you go thru the bank yourself?
I want to get a federal stafford loan. I’ve already completed my financial aid and the school has it but they told me since i got accepted so late my financial aid may not be processed until after school starts, so to be prepared to pay for it myself and then later reimburse myself with the refund money. My question is can I apply thru a bank for the student loan or do I have to wait for my school to offer it to me? Thanks in advance!

The No 1 answer:

Answer by Witchy_Woman
You can apply for a loan through your bank, however, your credit rating will be taken into account. If it’s not so great, you probably won’t qualify. Student loans (through the school)don’t require a credit check and have a very low interest rate. Personally, I would wait and try to get the loans through your school.

A question from tuppergirl: If I have bad credit, are student loans still an option for me? If so, can you renew them every semester?

Best answer:

Answer by e.sillery
To get a private educational loan you will need decent credit and a job or a co-signer.

I was recently turned down for a private student loan by Wells Fargo because I am an UNEMPLOYED full-time student. I am 45 with no living relatives so getting a co-signer is out of the question… I was approved for a govt. guaranteed Stafford Loan though.
