If you’re like me, you probably did not receive enough money in federal loans for the school year. I graduated this past December and know all too well how frustrating it can be to find a loan or financial aid to cover what seems to be an insurmountable tuition gap. Thankfully, a private student loan [...] View full post on Student Loans : News, Updates and Blog Posts

My Parents have Bad Credit!
Filed Under Student Loans | Leave a Comment
One of the challenges of getting a private student loan is finding an adequate cosigner. Because many high school and college students lack the credit history to be viewed as a legitimate borrower by banks, you will almost definitely need a co-signer for a private student loan. For the vast majority of undergrads, the most likely cosigner will be a parent or guardian. But what happens if your parents have credit problems of their own?

I’m Mark Udall and I approved this message. Right after 9-11, what kind of Congressman votes against tougher airline security? In a dangerous world, what kind of congressman votes against funding for veterans’ health care 8 times? In this economy, what kind of congressman wanted to eliminate the Department of Education and voted against lower interest rates on student loans? Especially in times like these, what kind of Senator would Bob Schaffer really be? Just ask yourself. www.markudall.com

Getting a Business Loan from a Bank
Filed Under Student Loans | Leave a Comment
Video from our FREE Online Business Course www.myownbusiness.org Session 9 How to Finance Your Business Question “Are there any recommendations you would have for somebody looking to make a financial request to a financial institution?” Rod Banks Executive Vice President, City National Bank Topics covered in this video: Business loans, financing, banking, honesty Transcript: One of the best things a new entrepreneur can do is to think of their banker as a financial partner. Building a relationship with the bank, with the institution, with the individual is going to be the key. I would find someone who is really interested in your business: who will take the time, who will come out and take the tour and who will ask all the appropriate questions. Because if you think about it, this is the individual who is going to be your representative back to the bank to talk about your business. Now on your end you should invest the proper time to build the relationship with that banker. Get to know them. Find out how long they have been with the bank, find out about their career and make sure that you stay in contact and build a relationship over time. And the last piece of advice I’d offer is that no matter what the information might be about your company, always share it. Bankers want to know as much as they can about your business. They don’t like surprises. If you have bad news they would much rather you deliver it as opposed to having the bank hear about it second hand. So good …

John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 05/07/08
Filed Under Student Loans | 1 Comment
John McCain Town Hall Rochester, MI 05/07/08 [Note: The title screen on the video is incorrect. The date of the event is in fact May 7, 2008.] TRANSCRIPT: QUESTIONER: …Senator I’d like to start out by saying as a previously registered Democratic voter who voted for you in the primaries, thank you for your service to our country I truly do appreciate it. I’m currently a sergeant in the US Marine Corp reserves. Coming up on the end of my contract, six years. In that time I was activated for several months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I also attend Wayne State University for my Doctorate of Pharmacy curriculum, and when it’s all said and done next to me I’m going to owe over 70000 dollars in student loans. [...] So I’m going to owe 7000 dollars in student loans and my GI Bill benefits will be exhausted at that point. As you know Senator Jim Webb has introduced the post 911 veterans educational assistance Act to help negate this. Once your bill was brought to your attention, you had a, at a VFW hall meeting, you had stated you hadn’t had time to review it yet. And two to four weeks later you had introduced your own legislation because you thought it would hurt retention. Now, I’ve done some research, and in 2000 the average payment to an active duty GI Bill was 650 dollars in 2005 that value was increased to 1034 dollars almost 100%. I’ve looked at data on retention and in 2005 fiscal year the army air force and Marine Corps reported no reduction in retention …
