College money..?

I’m stuck.

I filled out a FAFSA months ago and because my father makes more than enough money I did not receive a lot for school. I applied for all scholarships/grants I could. I still did not get nearly as much money as I needed.

So I finally talked my dad into co-signing with me on a loan. Something to cover the rest of the cost for my R&B, tuition, living expenses, a computer, books, etc. But the college cut my loan amount in half to what they think I’ll really need.

I still need about $6000 to furnish my dorm, get a computer, all the other things I need. I do not want to ask my father again to help. Does anyone know of a place that I can be assured to get money w/o a co-signer, maybe even one with a low interest rate? I know I may be reaching but I have no idea what to do.

Thanks so much.

Check out this book at the library or something: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F1600200400&tag=thestateofart-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 – it will show you a ton of things you can do to get extra cash (up to $100k) from credit arbitrage to starting an online business.

Good luck!

What did you put as your Expected Family Contribution on the FAFSA? If you are on your own, and your parents arent giving you any actual money, they cant claim you on thier tax return and you can apply for financial aid as independent. Then you will get a lot more money. Also, you can take out extra money to get a computer, just pick up a computer loan form from the office, or find it online at your school. You will have to prove that your cost of attendance is higher than the school estimated in order to recieve more money. I would suggest applying for unsubsidized stafford loans before doing a private loan with a cosigner.

Shop around for private student loans but be warned, they’re not cheap.

Here are some sites I’d recommend:

http://financialaid.com (federal and private loans)

http://finfo.com (get up to four competing offers for loans, no obligation)

Also check with Wells Fargo, they’re known for issuing student loans. Your financial aid office should also be able to help you shop for loans.
