I have looked everywhere on the internet and have not found ANY bank that will give me a student loan without a cosigner. I already have all the federal loans and they are still not enough. If you know of one, please let me know. I need a loan ASAP
Sharonda. Banks typically will not give out student loans without cosigner. Banks are a business — and unlike the government, they are not willing to invest in your future. Your best bet is either to seek out a non-traditional student loan (i.e. a bad credit loan), if you can handle the high interest), or look for other sources of funding such as college grants for students. Colleges offer financial aid programs that may include tuition reduction or even free money. It’s also worth looking on the gov grant website to see about government grants for students.
Hello,
And thank you for such great information! However,
I am one of those students who have received all
the goverment loans (ie; Staford loan as well as
Pell grant) to pay for my tuition. But because I have bad credit (and can’t get a cosigner), I need a private loan to help pay for my living expenses.
I was wondering if you had any companies in mind
that you could suggest that offer such loans for
people in my situation?
I had my own very successful Home Improvement Business back in the 90′s, had a crew working for
me and life was good and was making really good
money! Then I had an accident (fell off a roof and lost my right hip). As a result, I lost EVERYTHING! My credit (which had been good at the
time) was ruined! I am a Certified Home Impector,
(which I really don’t want to do that kind of work
anymore). And becasue of other health issuses (which have been taken care of). I what to go back to school to become an Certified Industrial Inspector now.
And I found online the perfect Instutute that
offers such a program down in Houston, TX. I have been trying for over a year and a half to find someone (and lending Instutue and private loan companies) who are willing to help out such an indiviual such as myself, but so far, have had no luck finding one!
I know that there are soooo many schemes out there
and I am finding it hard to find a “legitimate”
one (very frustrating) that I can trust.
I was wondering if you had ANY suggestions as to
who might be just the company that I am looking
for. Any help that you could offer me, I would be
MOST GRATEFUL!!!
I have spoken with the Finicial Advicer at the Instutute that I wish to attent, but he is of no help when it comes to these matters. All he keep
saying, is that I would need a cosigner. I know
that I will have to pay a higher interest rate
because of my situation, but I am willing to pay
that gladly. And because after graduation I know that I will be making VERY good money (as Certified Industrial Inspectors are in such great
demand right now, $2000/a week to start), I know that I would be able to pay the loans back in a very short time (perhaps as soon as the first year).
Thank you in advance for anything that you can do
in helping me find the money I need for living
expenses with in school.
Hi James. You are in a tight situation. The best student loans without cosigner are federal student loans.
Your options are limited:
1 ) look for a bad credit internet lender. You may be able to get a very high interest bad credit personal student loan from an online lender…but BE CAREFUL. There are a lot of scams out there, make sure you do plenty of research about the lender before signing anything. Probably your best option, but expect to pay for it.
2) Look at getting gift aid — grants, scholarships, etc. There are a lot of finanical aid programs offered by colleges. Talk to your college’s financial aid office. In addition, you can sometimes get work study where you can work on campus to supplement your income.
3) Part time job — you may need to get a part time job
4) *Some* private lenders may give out student loans without a cosigner — if you can make a compelling case. I doubt they will lend a 17 year old 50k without collateral, but if you are older and you can show yourself to be a good investment, it may be possible. I’ve heard of people getting chase student loans without no cosigner. Keep in mind that the economy has bombed so lenders are even tighter with their credit.
Thank you sooo much Admin! I believe you are right
about doing a LOT of research in order to find a
ligetimet lender! I know that I will have to pay
a much higher interest rate. Of that, I am not so
concerned, as after graduation, I wil be quailfied to repay to loan with no problem.
The “Ocean Corp” in Houston is the biggest and te best at what they teach. It is an accedit Instute with the BBB in Houston. I have check the
out extenively, and feel comfortable attending them.
It is a 8 month course and they teach us everything that we would know to be able to walk onto a constrcution site, and be able to ferform any task which would be required of us. So I feel
very secure about going to school there. And because the demand for Industrial Inspectors is so high right now, I would probably get a job right out of school!
I am in need of “ligetimate” lenders (no scams) to trust and turn to for help. I know that they are OUT THERE. I just don’t know how to go about finding those type of lenders. And suggestions?
James, I can’t recommend a specific company that offers student loans without cosigier. In your case, you should contact Signature Student loans or chase student loans. These private lenders do offer cosigner loans, but there have been reports of Chase giving out no cosigner student loans.
Your other option, as previously stated, is to look at a bad credit lender online and seek a high interest personal loan — but, again, do some consumer research. There are many of these lenders and I cannot recommend a specific company — you will have to do the research yourself there. I do know that some students, albiet students with no other options, have gotten these types of loans.
Have you considered gift aid options such as grants and scholarships? The government grant website offers grants — some may be applicable to you, especially if you are on disability. Then there is financial aid found at colleges.
The bottom line is that there is no easy solution — there are options such as bad credit loans, grants and scholarships, and maybe convincing a major student loan company to give you a no cosigner loan provided you can show yourself to be a good investment.
Edward, It is possible to use your credit card to pay for your tuition, however, you will end up paying interest fees. I have friends who have opted to fund their education like this. The key to doing this without landing yourself in debt is to make sure you start paying down what you owe as soon as possible. If you don’t, the high interest fees of a credit card will cause financial and credit problems down the road — something you don’t want to be worrying about when you pursue your education.

One other note, I am currently on Disablity. And I
don’t know if that will have any bearing on getting such loans. Any suggestions regarding the
fact?
Thanks again,

I want to find out if I can use my credit card to pay for my tuition.Is that possible I have a lot of credit line.

A line of credit is better than a credit card.
