Getting Student Loans Means Thinking Ahead And Seeking Advice
by Donald Saunders
The Internet has dramatically changed the way we live and this is certainly true in the case of student loans as both students and parents can now gain access to the information and advice they need and even apply for loans from the comfort of their own homes.
Today it is easy to quickly access an enormous amount of information including interest rates, qualifying criteria, loan limits and much more. But with this ease also comes one very common problem of using the Internet for research and that is the problem of having too much information to sift through. Having so much information available, especially given the variety of loan programs and their complexity, can make analyzing all of the information available that much more difficult. As a result, you might be more comfortable turning to the old-fashioned method of simply seeking personal advice.
For students who are still in high school then turning to the school counselor is a good way to start and school counselors are there to help you to sort through the bewildering array of choices and to point out some of the advantages and potential pitfalls these choices present you with. You do have to be careful though as the quality of the advice given will vary quite a lot from one school counselor to the next.
Another alternative is to turn to a professional loan counselor who will generally not only be up on the latest information, but will also usually go through regular courses each year to keep up-to-date and maintain his professional standing. But, the downside is that he usually charges for his services and, while an initial few minutes of advice on the phone or in person is typically free, any detailed advice will come at a price.
Nowadays it is also possible to seek advice from professional loan counselors online and this can be an excellent route to take, although you do have to be careful to ensure the quality of the advice you are getting. A face to face meeting gives you the opportunity to judge the individual you are talking to but this is clearly missing when you seek advice online and the counselor is able to hide behind his computer. This is not however necessarily such a big problem as the social networking and blogs which have grown so rapidly in the past few years have certainly gone a long way towards clearing out most of those people who were formerly able to get away with providing poor quality advice.
Nowadays it is possible to get reliable recommendations and one good plan is simply to watch a number of the bigger and more active forums. At first you will not know what is good and not quite so good advice but if you simply follow the forum postings for a while you will soon begin to spot the threads to follow for sound and high quality information and advice. Before too long you will find that you have a short list of professionals who you can then approach for the specific information and advice which you are looking for.
The secret is simply to start your search early and take the time that you need to put together a funding plan which best suits you. This probably means beginning your search about a year or so ahead of starting college which will mean that you are getting information which will be up-to-date when you are actually starting to apply for your loans and will also have time to get everything in place for that all important first day of college.

Taking A Look At Government Grants For Schools by Mike SelvonTaking A Look At Government Grants For Schools
Taking A Look At Government Grants For Schools
by Mike Selvon
After high school a brand new world begins to open up. You are headed towards those hallowed halls of higher education. It may have been several years since you graduated high school and you are entering college as a non-traditional student.
Regardless of your age, you are going to have to face the problem of paying for college. That is why government grants for college expenses were initiated. They help pay for tuition, books, room and board. It may help to offset a huge student loan debt that will need to be repaid after graduation.
Everything about school starts in the financial aid office. Your financial aid will start there as well. You will need to fill out a FAFSA, which is a Free Application for Federal Student Aid form.
The FAFSA will need some demographic information, as well as tax information about you and your parents if you are still considered a dependant. If you are an adult attending school, then the FAFSA will be based on your previous year's taxes alone.
After the FAFSA is filed you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that details what government grants for school you are eligible to receive and how much money will be made available to you. You may still need to take out a student loan but you should always try to minimize how much money you take out because, unlike grants, student loans have to be repaid once you graduate.
Your federal financial aid does come with a stipulation. You must be enrolled full time, in 12 credit hours worth of classes, and you must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average, which is a 'C' grade point average. Hopefully, these two conditions will not cause you any trouble because you are a smart cookie.
Government grants for school can be an intimidating process when you first begin applying and filling out the paperwork. This is on top of all the paperwork your school already requires to be admitted. It is natural to feel a bit overwhelmed and anxious about your money and how things will be paid.
Just take a deep breath and relax. Your school's financial aid office can help you with any questions you may have and can help walk you through the process. Just picture yourself walking down the aisle at graduation with your college diploma in your hand. That will make things easier.

Affordable Student Loans - All You Need To Know About
Affordable Student Loans - All You Need To Know About
by Peter Lisdorf
Your first year in college can be an exciting time in life. When you have that first day of enrollment and you sign up for your first classes it may first hit you just how big the world is and how small a part of it you are. Just the long lines to sign up for classes can be a scary thing. More and more, schools are improving this experience by allowing students to register for classes on the Web. Provided you are comfortable signing up on the Web, you can get all of your class schedule set up in a matter of minutes on the Web.
Then the next step is getting the books you need for class. Some schools will let you do this on the Web too. But most still have you go wait in lines for those. Some savvy students save money by ordering them from discount bookstores on the Internet. Either way, when it comes time to purchase books it hits you really hard just how much money you are spending on college. If not for student loans, most students could never register for classes or buy school books.
It is important to start your college education by gathering information about affordable student loans. This is where your venture into the real world truly begins. You must explore your options for any kind of financial help you can get to get you through school. It all starts of course by applying for free grants and scholarships. But, most students only cover a tiny portion of their tuition with these.
What isn't covered by free money must be covered by your parents, your bank account, and loans. Most college students have nearly nothing in their bank accounts. Most parents can contribute a little each month, but nothing close to what it costs to put a student up in a dorm with food. And certainly, few parents have what it takes to pay tuition.
So whatever can't be paid out of these sources must come from student loans. You will want to get information about the types of affordable student loans you can apply for. The most important types of student loan information to get will be the information about Stafford loans. The subsidized loan is always best because the government helps you out with it.
This is just the tip of the student loan information iceberg. For more information on affordable student loans do more research on the Web. And, in the mean time, make sure you go to the FAFSA website and fill out an application by the deadline date. There is plenty of student loan information on the FAFSA website as well.

Student Loans Are Flawed In Wales
Student Loans Are Flawed In Wales
by Sarah Othman
Welsh graduates are saying the pay-as-you-earn system for paying back student loans is flawed. Graduates from Welsh universities are claiming that they have over-paid their student debts due to faults with the system. Some former students have also said that they've had money taken from their salary before they have reached high enough earnings to warrant it.
In the US where the system for getting student loans is different, people are concerned that the current economic climate will affect student loan availability. And indeed, some US lenders are pulling out. But here in the UK, it's another worry affecting students. Student loans shouldn't be affected by the credit crunch but plenty of disgruntled students are finding the high number of administration problems which dog their repayments frustrating.
The National Union of Students (NUS) is confident that the system is not working and has put forward new findings to the government. However, HM Revenue and Customs argue that it is up to the graduates themselves to monitor payments and assure that they pay the correct amount at the right time.
Thousands of students take out loans each year to help pay for the costs incurred while studying and most students will pay back their loans using the existing pay-as-you-earn system. Funds are deducted from the former student's pay each month before they are awarded it. When a student begins to earn more than 15,000 a year, a small percentage is taken, depending on how much over the threshold their earnings are.
Employers collate the cash and send it to the HM Revenues Service at the end of each tax year, which then passes on the money to the Student Loans Company. Up to 8 months later students are then sent a statement which tells them how much money was received. However, because HM Revenues service is just a middle man and has no access to details, it will continue taking funds until instructed to stop by the Student Loans Company.
Graduates are claiming that keeping track of how much loan they have paid off can be difficult. In a BBC article it was revealed that: "Teacher Rhian Morgan from Swansea had been paying back her £16,000 debt despite only working in a part time job. But in her statement from the Student Loans Company at the end of the tax year in 2003, it said that no payments had been made."
Last month a report in the mail on Sunday said that: "The Company that bought more than £1bn of student loans from the Government in the late Nineties is coming under increasing fire over its shoddy administration." And that: "Message boards on consumer websites are carrying comments from former students venting their anger about Honours Student Loans."
The National Union of Students has called for the system to be made more transparent, flawless and flexible. The Student Loans Company have said that changes are currently under way to make the repayment system easier for borrowers.

Get A Waiver On Your Student Debt And Become Debt Free
Get A Waiver On Your Student Debt And Become Debt Free
by Amanda Hash
So, it is time for you to start repaying your student loans and though they have helped you through the whole process of obtaining your degree you wished you did not have to pay them back? Amazingly, it is possible to obtain waivers on your student debt payments provided that you meet certain requirements. You can get a partial waiver or a full pardon of your debt and become debt free.
Usually after six months from graduation you need to start repaying your government student loans. With any luck, you will be able to postpone repayment for an additional six months period but that's about it. There are however, things that you need to understand if you plan to request a partial or full cancellation of your federal student debt as it is not such a simple process as you may think.
Which Kind Of Student Debt Can Be Waived?
This is an important issue because not all student debt can be waived. Only government student loans and certain (but not all) private subsidized student loans can be forgiven. Private student loans can be renegotiated, consolidated but not forgiven. Thus, you need to analyze how is your debt composed in order to see if you can benefit from a student loan waive or you should resort to other debt reduction and elimination means.
Legally speaking, there is no obstacle for a private lender to condone a debt, but there is no economic reason for a private lender to do so. On the contrary, there are circumstances under which the government has reasons to partially or totally condone student debt. The idea is that the borrower compensates the forgiveness by providing certain services that are otherwise hard for the government to get.
Under What Circumstances Can I Obtain A Waiver?
Once you have graduated, you can start your new life working on your profession. There are certain careers that will provide you with this benefit as the government needs those professionals working on specific places. Among these professions you will find: members of the armed forces, teachers working fulltime on certain districts, special education teachers, etc.
Also, for those of you that have gone through law school, if you undertake a law enforcement job as a prosecuting attorney or work in correctional offices, you will be eligible for a partial or full waiver on your student debt . Of course, there are requirements that you will need to meet that exceed the purpose of this article. However, you will be able to request further information from the corresponding government agencies.
What Are The Alternatives If I Do not Qualify?
If you do not qualify for a waiver on your student debt and you think that you will not be able to cope with the monthly payments after graduation, you need not worry. It is possible for you to consolidate your student debt and obtain lower and affordable monthly payments by exchanging all your loans for a single loan with a lower interest rate and a longer repayment program. You can agree this with the government agency that provided you with financing for your studies or you can obtain a private loan from a lender or financial institution.

Student Loan: Help Secure Your Future
Student Loan: Help Secure Your Future
by Michal John
Rising cost of studies has hit upon the way to avail quality education with the help of student loans. These financial products are the cost-effective attribute to potential student-borrowers on the market. If you are young and mulling over for higher education, it is pretty likely that at some point or another, you can take out these loans.
Although the government has done its best to circulate the regulation, that does not cover the soaring costs of demands. In keeping with that, several commercial institutions, banks, building societies and high street lenders have started doing the same with a wide range of these loans. You can find them across the money market over the country. The kind of loans only grow at the inflation rate, and as a preventive measure, the government has restricted any inflation rises from effective the rates too dramatically. The maximum possible interest that you will be paying on a Student Loan is 1% above the Bank of England's national rates. You need not worry about that though. You can expect to be enjoying repayment interest rates as low as 2%.
The great thing about such money provisions is that they come on completive rates. More so, you do not have to worry about paying off your debts in a hurry. Life as a student is tough at the best of times and the wallet can be tattered on many occasions, so not having to worry about extreme interest rates in a major advantage. You only need to have a comparative study of different loan quotes.
So, what is the major worry with this type of loan? The most noticeable worrying factor could have to be that students do not get too carried away with the low interest charges. Student life particularly, has the potential to spill out of hand with huge spending in a little time.
Above all, student loans are a forced deal for many people. It is quite rare that students will have sufficient funds to go through further education without having to call on help from a loan at some point. That is not to say that it is not possible. But if you are looking for a loan which cause harm, student loans in this prospect a good applying hand.
