    I would try applying for federal grants such as peel grants. Than I would get on the internet and find scholarships  that are not very well known and apply for all of them.

      If you haven't filled out a FAFSA yet, you need to go on line and do so. This will automatically determine whether you're eligible for Pell grant and state scholarships. It will also determine how much in federally backed, private loans are available to you. The lower your income the less you have to pay. You need to file soon so that you will not have to put the money out "up front". By the way FAFSA is the initials for "Free Application for Federal Student Aid". Good luck!

        Hi there,

        First of all, don't worry, you're not the only one with a low credit score who's trying to apply for student loans. And it's ok that you
        don't have a co-signer either, not all lenders require one. My best suggestion for you in your situation is to do a lot of research on your options. Taking your first offer may not always be the best choice, because you could get something better from some other lender. It also helps to know what you're getting into when applying for a loan... There are so many terms and concepts out there that many people don't understand. I suggest checking out Tuition Bids' FAQ section or Student Loan glossary to help you do some research But either way, you should also compare offers for loan options. I
        represent www.TuitonBids.com
        , a site that lets you pick the best option from offers from up to six
        different lenders. That way you can find the offer that matches your
        needs.

        Best wishes as you look for your perfect loan!

        None of the answers provided here make sense and answering even your question.

        for example the person called Katelyn asked you to go to tuitionbids.com
        Here what you get when you fill out the application telling you have no cosigner as an undergraduate student:

        "It is Recommended to Try Using a Co-Signer

        A co-signer is a
        joint signer of a promissory note. Undergraduate students should apply
        with a creditworthy co-signer when seeking a student loan. Having a
        credit worthy Co-Signer will dramatically increase your chances of
        approval and  is likely to reduce the interest rate the lender charges
        by a substantial margin. Some lenders require you to apply with a
        co-signer regardless of your income or credit rating.
        Most lenders require a borrower to have a strong credit score (good to
        excellent) in addition to other criteria such as no negative credit
        history (missed payments), debt-to-income ratio (amount of debt vs.
        Your current income) and proof of current employment and income. Many
        times the amount of income is not important, only that you are employed
        and have income. If you are a student without income or a strong credit
        history you'll almost certainly need to apply with a credit-worthy
        co-signer."

        and don't get it wrong! It doesn't mean you might have an option to get a loan without it noway! I have the same situation like you and know all about the FAFSA and ... But need just the loan for the back balance to be able to resume my school to graduate.. I have not been able to find one lender to give me the loan I need yet. And guess what? I have my wife who has no good credit but make goo mone so that I can srat making payments even instantly up to 500 per month but no luck yet.

        If any of these guys answering you, happened to know a lender borrowing 10,000 paying directly to the school and asking me for making 500 a month, I am ready to get the deal instantly.

        If you also happened to find a lender please post your success story here too.
