Loans For Unemployed Students
Q: Are there loans for unemployed students, or will a student not be able to receive a student loan for college if they are unemployed?
A: There are loans for unemployed students through FAFSA. FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and any student (regardless of employment status) in need of money for college should file a FAFSA. After filing a FAFSA the Department of Education reviews your financial circumstances, and determines if and what Federal Financial Aid Programs you are eligible for. Most students will qualify for the Federal Stafford Loan Program, regardless of employment status or credit history. Individuals that have exceptional financial need may qualify for special need-based financial aid programs such as Federal Grants (which unlike student loans will not have to be repaid) and/or Subsidized Stafford Loans (federal government pays the loan interest for students while attending school) or Perkins Loans (low interest student loan made via your schools financial aid office).
Student Loans For Part Time Students
Q: Are there specific student loans for part time students in college, or do part time college students apply for the same financial aid and student loans as full time college students?
A: For federal financial aid, including federal student loans, a student’s full or part time status can affect how much financial aid they will qualify for, or if they will qualify at all. Most schools will consider anything over 6 credits as part time, however part time and full time student status requirements can be different for each school. Students must check with their school to be clear on the requirements for fulfilling part time student status. P
