I plan on doing MBA from a good university in the United States next year. I have a bachelor degree in Management from an university in the US. I have 4 yrs of work experience and will be giving the GMAT very soon. My question, can international student receive student loan without co-signee. If so which bank or organization provide such loans. Please help, as i am in the process of applying for MBA for 2009
Good business schools will arrange the loans. They might even throw in a little fellowship money. Think hard about doing this unless you get into a really good MBA program. The 2 year course can be as high as $160,000 and this can be very hard to pay back if you don’t go to a great school that can land you a top job.

One of my student loans has gone to collections invalidly. Should I get a lawyer?
I graduated from a small, private institution in April 2007. I started receiving payment demands from my loan lenders in June. Come to find out, my institution had my graduation date as being in January 2007 which put me past my grace period INCORRECTLY for all of my loans. I was able to get through to 2 of my 3 lenders and, for the most part, fix the issue. But one lender, EFP/ACS, failed to process repeated requests with at least 2 of their employees for over 3 months. My grace period ended end of October. Repayment should have begun beginning of Nov. but I applied for forbearance with other lenders. EFP/ACS, for unknown reasons, failed to process my claims and attempts to comply nor did they respond to my requests for forbearance applications to be sent to me. They have a “convenient” online option that always gives me an error message. Now I have collections calling saying my payments are 120 days passed due and I believe this to be invalid. What do I do to not be in default?
First, go to www.nslds.ed.gov and verify what status they are in. Second, go to their website and apply for deferment. If that does not work then call FAFSA at 1-800-4-FED-AID they are open late and can help you with your options. Tell them exactly what you put here so that they don’t tell you to talk to the lender. If you do talk to the lender, I’d ask for a supervisor.
Is it possible to get your school student loan faster? Help?
Ok so here is the situation. When I started school In August I received my student loans (pell grant & stafford loan). I spent all the money on school expenses, rent, food, etc. Now I am almost broke ($200). I won’t be dispersed my next loan until March.
Is there anything I can do to get it faster? My loan processor is Nelnet. I could try to get another loan until then and have it paid back in March. Is there any place that could do this? My credit score is only like 535 also and no cosigner.
Please help!! Thanks!
Also it show’s that my spring classes are now do. Do I get a delayed payment form from them and they can take it out in March or how does that go? I think I messed things up. Was I supposed to pay for spring semester also out of my first loans? Because I payed for fall

Well, as for the Pell grant and student loans, most colleges pay your tuition first before dispensing any monies to you the student as to ensure they get theirs. Check on any student loan statements or account summaries to see what exactly your overage (living expense-educational expenses) came from. It is a best practice at our school to cut the students funding from their unsubsidized loans as the Pell grant is a better option for them to use for tuition, as it keeps their debt down. Also, if your credit( overage amount) is due to your loans being maxed out then unfortunately the lender/guarantor/servicer agency will not release additional funding until you have completed a certain amount of courses or credit hours. This is a Federal regulation when it comes to the disbursement of Federal Title IV Student Aid. IF you have any other questions about these types of things the best website to go to is IFAP. It is an electronic Financial aid handbook and is updated every award year.
The other options for additional funding would be to apply for credit based loans through third party lenders like Sallie Mae or Wells Fargo, places like that that handle student loans too. The governament will not release funds before it is due. Please go see your financial aid advisor and get as much information as you can from them and make them explain the issue to you until you FULLY understand the rules and your responsibilities. YOu are the borrower and as such, you MUST have a CLEAR understanding of your situation. Feel free to email as well if you need furhter advice. cgreeley_reed@yahoo.com
