I am on my last year of Grad school and I run out of student loans. I had the federal loans and a citi-assist loan but my school is telling me that I maxed out on the amount of loans I can get (the full cost of attendance). What can I do? I see there are private student loan option but some say maximum is total cost of attendance… this means I am ineligible? what are my options?
No, it means all you can get is the total cost of tuition & books. Call a few of those companies & ask. Also, since you’re in last year, ask mom, dad, aunt, whoever you can for a personal loan. Also, get a job. Waiting tables can be really good $$ for minimum hours put in. Dinner or cocktail only. There’s no money in breakfast or lunch.
What to do when you run out of student loans?
What happens to the status of student loans if I transfer undergraduate schools?
I just transferred undergraduate schools and still have some student loans from my previous school (Sallie Mae and Federal Direct loans). Is there some sort of clearing house that my new enrollment status will be sent to so that the loan agencies know that I haven’t just stopped going to school (and thus cause my loan payments to become due)? Or must I obtain enrollment verification from my current school and send it to each loan agency myself?
Although most lenders find out if you transfer schools, it’s best not to wait to hear from them, as they may have you in repayment status, and if you go too long without making a payment, you’ll default which will ruin your chances of federal aid in the future.
Best thing to do is call each loan servicer, inform them that you changed educational institutions, and ask if they need you to provide anything to them to keep your loans in good standing with them.

How do they process your student loans when you almost at your borrowing limit?
I have around $4500.00 left in student loans, and I have two semester left of college. In the fall, I am taking 15 hours, but in the spring I am only taking six. Will they offer the remaining of my loans for the fall semester, and I can use my pell grant for the spring or will they split the remaining loans between the two semesters?
Chances are they will split the remaining loans between the two semesters, at least my college does.
hope this helps

What does it mean when my student loans have a zero balance due to a claim?
My student loans are through NelNet and I received a letter from NelNet instructing me to stop making payments. The reason they give is that my student loan account has been paid by a claim and now has a zero balance. I have had student loans since 1995; but I also have filed bankruptcy. What does all this mean? What claim paid my loans off? Did I or someone else get sued for the money?
That is a question they should be able to answer for you. Is it possible there was a class action suit? Or included in bankruptcy? Contact them and find out.

Is it better to pay off student loans quickly?
I’m graduating this June and I’m going to have about 30,000 canadian in student loans. I want to pay off my loans as quickly as I can even if it means sharing a room with someone. I’m planning to take at least 50% of my pay check to go into loans. So maybe around 900 a month, which allows me to pay off my loans in about 3 years. I’m normally a saver anyway and I can live cheaply. I would have just enough money left over for rent and living expenses. My rent would only be about 400 dollars. Plus, I have savings right now that would work as my emergency fund. Do you guys think that it’s a good idea and is it worth it financially? My thought is that it would save me on interest even though it would be hard for a few years, but I will be much better off in the long run. Any suggestions?
Its always good to pay down debt
Good Luck!!!
The Loan Without The Bank – Germany
February 2009
With banks increasingly refusing loans, German citizens are taking lending into their own hands. Online citizens bank Smava allows ordinary people to invest their savings into causes theyd like to support.
The great thing about Smava is that the people themselves decide, claims founder Alexander Artopé. Smava allows anyone to request a loan for any reason. Investors then get to choose who they lend to. René Müller has invested in many small projects and is enjoying the benefits of investing: for investors it is especially beneficial, we receive the returns on investments, which would normally go to the banks.
