1. There are two sources for student loans -- the federal government and private lenders. In order to obtain most federal student loans, you will first need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In most<!--instances the FAFSA is required for all federal financial aid including federal student loans. Deferment options are available while you are still attending school at least half-time. There are four main federal loan programs. http://best-loans.awardspace.com/student-loans.htm Federal loan consolidation is for students who are in repayment status or parents who wish to extend the repayment period on their current PLUS and obtain a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan-->you can combine all of your eligible federal student loans into one loan with a Federal Consolidation Loan. Consolidating also locks the interest rate you pay on your loan.
2. The best way to take out a student loan is usually through the college/university you will be attending. Many schools will have their own companies who will provide the federal student loans. Talk with their financial advisors and they will be able to assist you with getting the correct paperwork done. If you have already tried the financial aid office and still need more money for college, then you might need to go to a local bank to see what type of student loan they can offer. Remember, most student loans will be deferred while you are in school and taking a set number of credit hours or units, whichever the college goes by which you are attending. I would strongly recommend looking into local organizations which might offer scholarships before trying to get a student loan. Scholarships do not need to be paid back and student loans do. There are many scholarships available which do not get awarded because no one applies for them. Your financial aid advisor should have a list of them and they all have different requirements. One scholarship search engine I used a lot was www.scholarshipguide.com. Also, look into grants which might be available. Again, most grants do not have to be repaid after you finish school. If you do finish school and had to take out student loans then I would recommend going to a local bank and consolidating all them them so you only have one student loan payment each month.
