Question

How can I secure financial assistance for returning to college despite having poor credit?

Answer 1

usually the college that you're applying to will be able to help you out with that.. . My suggestion is to go to their website, or directly to them (in person) and see if they can help you there.

Answer 2

I would start with going to either your school superintendent and see what government grants you can apply for, or go to the college that you are wanting to attend and see what information they have as far as applying for these said grants.

Answer 3

apply to a union bank

Answer 4

Go to your community collage and ask about funding for collage or even night classes if you still need to work if you are a single mom than ask about housing programs and the most important thing you can do is pray eventually you will find a way

Answer 5

Go to FAFSA on the internet (you can do a google search) and fill it out. I had bad credit and I was able to get a Federal Direct Student Loan. You can also go the website of any college or school that you want to attend and get to FAFSA through there. You will get a letter stating how much you are eligible for and you go from there. Good Luck.

Answer 6

You can actually get federal student loans, grants, and access to work-study programs that do not take credit history into account. I would suggest visiting http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. This website has detailed instructions on how to apply for federal aid. . . I would also suggest contacting the high-school that you graduated from. They can typically provide information about local scholarships to your area, some of which are only available to students from specific schools.

Answer 7

I think the only way would be on grants.

Answer 8

If your income is low, you may qualify for grants. Check with the school's financial aid office. They should be able to help you out.

Answer 9

If you have a job where you are permitted to join a union, check out the benefits and join. Most unions have wonderful benefits that even their members don't know about. I just checked with mine and found out that tuition for members AND THEIR KIDS is one of them.

Answer 10

You could try going to your banking institution. If you go in person, & appeal to them about needing a student loan specifically, they might be more likely to help you out.
