Are there ways to get student loans, if you have bad...

[Briana S]

...credit? I'm wanting to go to school full time (right now i'm part time). I want to quit my job (that i desperatley hate) but I would need about $8000.00 to cover my bills for the next 7 months and that's about how much I would be losing by quitting. Any suggestions for someone with bad credit?

You DO NOT want to get a student loan...believe me, I am PAYING for it now!!!

I know where I'm from (Ontario, Canada) there's lots of government programs out there who are willing to help people just like you. People who need to go back to school or find a job or training or what not. I'm sure if you research enough you'll find some agency's in your city who help with your case. if your in Canada I know a company called Northern Lights Canada. They will gladly assist you. Or even your local YMCA always have these sorts of assistance programs that can help you. In Ontario as well you can always applay for OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) where they will give you a student loan that you don't have to pay for until a year after your program is complete with very little interest.

You will most likely have to pay a higher interest rate, due to your previous credit history, if some creditor is willing to make a loan to you at all.
