Financial Aid

I am eligible for a SUBSIDIZED Stafford Loan but am confused about certain things. Does being eligible for this type of loan mean that I need only repay what they give me (e.g. they give me $3500, I give them back exactly $3500) or will I need to pay them more? What is this about the 1.5% federal origination fee, and the 6.8% fixed interest rate?

I already tried FASFA and their loan isn't enough to cover my tuition, my mother is a single mother and she isn't able to co-sign on a loan with me. Is there any other path I could take to get the loan by myself?

I have my BA in Spanish & I want to be a translator/interpreter, but I'm still not fluent. I want to go to graduate school, b ut I don't think I'll make it. I'm taking extra undergrad courses to strengthen my GPA but it's not working. I think next semester I'll be disqualified from financial aid. Well, my GPA started back @ 0 since I already have my BA, so since I completed this summer semester, I have a 1.5, & I'm considered a 5th yr. Sr. in the eyes of Fin. Aid. Do you think I'll go on probation or just not be eligible for fin. aid? My stressful living situation with moving away from my cheating family, & then being kicked out of a homeless shelter for refusing to go to church b/c I was studying, & me moving into a new apt. & then buying a car & getting screwed over & having a mental disability are the reasons why I didn't do well. & this is the 1st time in almost a year since I've been in school.

I feel so nervous. What's the worst that can happen to me about my financial aid?

My daughter checked the disbursemnet of her Stafford at NSLDS for last school year and found a loan had been disbursed to another college that she never attended.We called the current servicer of this loan and they said they had no record of it.They suggested calling the current lender.We'll have to wait until Monday to contact the lender.My question is-has anyone else had this problem?Are goofs like this common with Stafford loans?

Hello. I graduated from college 2 years ago, and I'm currently paying my student loans. I'm planning to go to Law School full time next year, but I will need NEW Student Loans.
Will I have to continue paying for my OLD student loan as I'm doing now....or is there any way that I can freeze those payments until I finish Law School? Thanks.

We are considering applying for a private student loan to cover additional costs for my son's education. He has received all he is allowed from Federal loans and grants. We are still short about $3000 for the year and other expenses such as insurance, travel home, computer and etc. He is getting ready to enter college next month but was wondering if we apply for loan now with the money disbursed directly to him not the school will they issue the check now or will it wait until he is actually attending next month??

I'm wondering if I can get a student loan without a cosigner. Sallie Mae says no. I have one loan, but not for much. My parents aren't very helpful and aren't willing to cosign. Does anyone know of any decent lenders? I'm a dependent which is holding me back, however my credit score is above average. Any advice is appreciated.
