Where can I take out a grant for school or a private student loan with bad credit?
Nov 27th, 2008 by admin
Im trying to go a dental assisting school it only cost $3,995. The problem is I already have a balance with Sallie Mae of $3,000. They will not give me another loan without having a co-signer, which I do not have. I’ve tried to get a grant but everything on the internet cost money to get the grants packets. Please help I’m trying to start school by June 23,2 008.
You should fill out a fafsa and see if you qualify for the Pell Grant. Otherwise, in terms of private (alternative) funding, you are going to need a cosigner, or pay ridiculous interest rates.
Good Luck!
go to your local high school and talk to a counsellor there, S/he should have the info you need.
Try applying for scholorships you can go to fastweb.com..that’s how i was able to attend the dental assisting program. On some scholorships you might have to type up an essay but it’s much better b/c it’s “free” money..GOOD LUCK!
Here is free direction on how to get grants without uses a paid service.
You’re not going to find a reputable loan on Yahoo Answers, but your question is drawing the “Advance Fee Loan Fruad” scammers, so here are some tips for determining whether a loan is legitimate or a scam:
1) They don’t use a free email address (yahoo, gmail, hotmail, live, etc)
2) They have a secure website you can go to to fill out their application (this isn’t 100% … do a search with the company + fraud and also + scam… and check the BBB)
3) They don’t require ANY fees upfront. Any fees will come out of proceeds of the loan (scammers want their fees via Western Union or Moneygram)
4) They have a REAL address you can send mail to
5) They have a REAL phone number, not a cel phone
6) Look at their profile - created in the last 48 hours. Why? Because they get reported for this answers and yahoo deletes the accounts, so they just open a new one and send again until they are deleted once more!
If you plan to pay back the money , you can ask for a loan at your credit union or Prosper. People may help you. More information at and
