I have very little credit but i would like to continue education. I was looking for a student education lender that would approve me with bad credit. I dont want to go to the government and fill out those fafsa forms. I need something simple and quick, my school begins soon.

Find a cosigner.

The government is about the only place where you can get a loan for college when you have poor credit. I went through that myself.

The best place to go would be your college’s finacial aid office. If that doesn’t work, try a website like to get lots of advertising and scholarslhip offers. But you will still probably have to fill out the fafsa form. Swallow your pride and do it. Money is good for college. Above all, to raise your credit, pay your loans on time.

you should call up your school’s financial aid office or loan office (depends on the size of your school to determine which one) and ask about financing options. also, if you get to their loan office, you can take out low-interest loans from them. usually, the loans have some sort of relationship to the prime rate (that’s the one that ben bernanke sets). another option is to look up citibank’s student loan corporation. they are 7% right now, and they don’t start asking for repayment until you stop being a half-time student; you can also borrow up to the total cost of attendance at the school of your choice. your parents will co-sign that loan.
