Loans
Loans are available to help pay for education costs from a variety
of sources. There are some offered through the federal financial
aid program by completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Fedral
Student Aid) form. There are also private loans available through
local banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. A very
common one is http://www.salliemae.com.
Since 1970, the percentage of full-time students
with loans has risen from just over 5 percent to 45 percent. They
have become a very common means to get education.
Paying
it back
Loans must be repaid, but usually not until after graduation or
the student leaves the program or school. School loans are known
to have very low interest rates which means once you start paying
off your loan after graduation, there is not a lot of additional
money to pay to the lendor other than the loan amount itself.
