Shelly Said:

Sallie Mae Continuing Education Loan?

We Answered:

Anna:

Directly to the school.

The only major lender that seems to be offering non-certified, disbursed-to-student loans right now is Wells Fargo, through their Education Connection loan.

By the way, Sallie Mae's Continuing Education loan is only available to part-time students, or to students who are not pursuing a degree - typically, students who are attending a technical school.

I would strongly caution you that Sallie Mae is VERY likely to require a cosigner before they will approve you for this loan.

Good luck to you.

Julio Said:

Continuing Education Loan Deferment?

We Answered:

Federal student loans can be deferred when you are in school, assuming you are full time at an accredited institution. Contact your lender(s) to see what deferment options you have, and to complete the appropriate paperwork.

George Said:

student loan for continuing education?

We Answered:

There are government loans & grants, and then there are private loans & scholarships.

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

here are some links with a HUGE list of what is available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Mattie Said:

Paying school loans but continuing education?

We Answered:

Ask your loan provider for an "in-school" deferment while you are attending Howard University.

The "in-school deferement" defers your payment on the loan until you have finished your education. During the time you are taking classes you can elect to only pay the interest on the loan or "capitalize" the interest into the loan thereby adding to your loan total.

Every lender must provide this option to students based on the Higher Education Act, as amended, of 1965.

Virgil Said:

Do you know of any continuing education loans for people with EXTREMELY poor credit?

We Answered:

every school has a financial aid office. while they do not usually deal with continuing education students, that would still be a good place to start. also, you claim you have a disability. have you checked with the local social services office? They may have some programs for which you might qualify despite having a degree already.

Keith Said:

Would you support your child that continues their education through student loans, does not work due to school?

We Answered:

that would kind of depend why they'd been in school 12 years. My husband went 11, actually -- 4 for undergrad, 2 for a masters, 5 more for a phd in a university where they wouldn't give credit for his masters. he wasn't flittering between career choices or anything, and that educational path landed him a professorship at one of the most prestigious universities in the country. even my law degree cost me 7 years (and massive loans, though the degrees got me a job that would pay them off).

i'd support them if they had a serious and well-thought-out plan. and i would let them be stupid if they were supporting themselves and didn't have a well-thought-out plan.

Greg Said:

does anyone know an online nc loan officer continuing education course?

We Answered:

As I know, this site has top listing of such college courses online - careers.scienceontheweb.net
