Question:well as tutition for students attending colleges that DO NOT include Living Expenses. We're all students that's going to pay back the same type of loans as students with (housing) Living Expenses covered. I've been out of school since May 07. I can get all the grants and government loans for titution but can't find Living Expenses grants/loans because of my credit. Look I have to pay back what's owed already but can't continue college because I have no where to Live! I'm from Texas and trying to continue my education in Atlanta GA, because of my field, and I have no co-signer's in my family eligible for a loan, what can I do. I hope to return by fall 07' THANKS for all response and best of luck to everyone.

I'm not exactly sure I understand . . .

The FAFSA determines the amount of money you will receive based on your assets adn the expenses of your school.The cost of room and board is considered in your available assets and expected contributions. If you have "0" assets, you would be receiving the maximum award available at your school.

Student loans are always considered to be part of the award package. If you are ineligible for a private loan, you should still be able to negotiate a government-backed loan.

It has NOTHING to do with your Financial Aid office. It is all in the hands of the government legislators and available tax dollars that fund the various grants.

Have you asked for a scholarship? Do you have a job? That's how most of us with no parental assets paid for our non-school expenses.
Bedbye is correct.
For more information on government grants go to http://thestudentloanconsolidationguide.
Talk with your financial aid department. Every
State has money set aside for college students who have bad credit. They have co-signers "Student Loan Foundations." Ask about this. Good luck!

Also Sally Mae has different types of loans. Try Citibank also.

Good Luck!!

I obtained these website from my community college in which I attend. If you start paying your student loan while in school you can claim it on your taxes. Right now interest rates are 6.8% fixed.

I wish you the best.

The lower your EFC the more money you will receive from Federal Pell Grants and other Grants. Then the loans come into action. Fastweb has scholarship listings.
