I am in dire need of $10,000- I don't have great credit- and I am shopping for a place to get a loan. I am well aware my interest rates are going to be pretty high- and that's okay...
Does anyone know anything about TERI? Or any other suggestions?

TERI is a great company, popular for their competitive rates and flexibility (in the sense that they allow you to choose your lender) -- if they approve you, by all means, go with them. However, they're unlikely to approve someone with bad credit *unless* you have a creditworthy co-signer who also has proof of income/employment. Read TERI's eligibility criteria -- http://www.teri.org/loan-center/loan-programs/undergraduate/eligibility.asp -- and see if they're a match to you. If not, check out FinAid's list of popular lenders, read up on their loans, and pick one with less stringent credit criteria: http://www.finaid.com/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml

That's funny that you asked. I just submitted my application 2 minutes ago. I went to www.teri.org. They also are the only ones that give continuing education loans. Good Luck

Never heard of TERI.
But check out these sites also for financial aid and grants.
