I'm 23 and I graduated from college a year ago, but never tried to apply for any grants or scholarships while I was in school. I know that there are huge amounts of money left over every year in unpaid money, that could help lots of students to pay off their loans. I'm wondering if there's any way that I could apply for any of that money. Or is it only possible to do that before you start school or while you're in it? Thx

There is help out there if you meet certain criteria such as teaching in a critical need area such as teaching in an inner city school or special education for up to 5 years. Also, there are other programs with the Peace Corps (15% a year up to 70% maximum) or Americorp (forgives $4725 a year). If the choices do not work, I recommend consolidating your student loans which can lower your student loan payments and interest at the same time. I am including some links which can help.

Where did you get this idea that there are "huge amounts of money left over every year in unpaid money?" That is a myth. I'm sorry to say, but you missed the boat. Not filing the Fafsa was a very stupid thing to do. There are certain occupations or things you can do like joining the peace corp to reduce your government loans, but that is about it that I can think of.

nicely you may want to ask your self...why are you there? Why are you going to varsity? i'm effective you're not to any extent further going to varsity so that you need to rack up scholar loans that you need to pay off six months when you graduate. you're probably going to varsity to earn a better functional residing in the destiny. And to do this, it will value funds. no longer everybody can earn a school degree. It takes persistence, ability, decision, and different effective features. yet maximum of all, it takes funds. do not trouble, it ought to take you a lengthy time period to pay lower back the loans or you need to graduate, detect a nicely-paying interest (because of your coaching), and be in a position to pay off your loans in a twelve months or 2. I always said to myself that i'm no longer going to enable funds get in my way of an coaching. because an coaching is too major.

The way for you to pay off your loans is to get a job.

Ditto above poster...
WHY would the gov. help you pay off an investment you made for yourself? That's like the gov. helping me pay off my credit card debt...(if I had any).
You made a choice...and unfortunately, an unwise one...now live with the consequences.
