Speaking of student loans...

Where is best to apply for student loans? My daughter starts at IU next month and I can't front the money for tuition.

I think these people can help you:

Get help paying for your IU Bloomington education.

Whatever your circumstances, learn more about the financial aid process and how to apply for aid.

I spoke to a lady in person Tuesday. They aren't allowed to make recommendations of specific resources.

Don't do it.

She can start at a community college and get her basic classes knocked out first before moving to IU. Or she can take a semester off work to pile up enough to help cover tuition.

There are other options besides student loans.

Watch this with her.

Too late for that. But I appreciate the recommendation.

When I went to school, all my loans were through the government I thought. I know I had to fill out the FAFSA form every year by a certain date and based on that they would offer me different loan options. That was 15 years ago though, not sure if it is still the same, or if there were other options available.

21st Century Scholars?

Nobody with a decent job or a without a dozen kids, who is honest on the FAFSA qualifies for that.

Not sure if you've explored HERE YET

And I believe from past info on this (not sure if still current) the student needed to enroll much earlier than about to be going to college age.

Can't speak to the "decent job" part (I really like most of my job), since I work for local government, but we only had 4 kids, and the first 3 all qualified.

Yes, unless things have changed dramatically, there are different types of loans and it is hard to qualify for the no interest loans, not hard at all for lower interest loans.

My suggestion for next semester, is to look into education grants. These are for various things. My sister managed to get through a bachelor's and law school with very minimal loans.

I unfortunately don't know how to find them, as I got my work to pay for my college education. I can check with her though to see how she did it.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
