try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.
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
heres a link with a HUGE amount of some 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.

NO interest.. that's grants.. All loans , credit cards, etc. that allow u to benefit now without the cash...have a good size interest rate. There is a new bill in Congress which will lower loan interest rates to about 4%... the cheapest right now is about 6%..which jumps to about 8% at graduation.

i don't think you will find any loans at 0% but the fixed rate for Stafford loans right now is 6.8% Perkins loans are at 5% but you have to have extreme need for the Perkins that is pretty low if you fill out the fasfa you will be eligible for all federal aid available including grants but fill it out asap some programs are fcfs
