Can you obtain a student loan when you have bad credit?

Answer by  jsomer (7)

You can obtain student loans without a credit check through the government's student loan program. These are called federal Stafford Loans. Qualifying for these loans requires you to meet certain income restrictions, or if you are under a certain age, your parents to meet these requirements.

Stafford Loans, student loans guaranteed and subsidized/unsubsidized by the government, are not predicated on credit-worthiness. The original thinking was that most students, at the time of application, have not established credit.

Most student loan organizations will give students a loan with bad credit. But just like a normal loan, it will require a co-singer with satisfying credit. Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans are included in the FAFSA (Financial Aid package). Private loans will need to be found from an outside provider.
