Like many other people because of the economy crash, my family is a little tight for money, where is the best place to get college loans with out any catches?
Scholarships are one financial aid option to help defray the costs, but not everyone qualifies for these awards. The alternative is a college loan, which, although it has to be paid back, student loans usually have low interest rates and long terms in their favor. There are numerous types out there, both from federal and private sources, and doing your homework first will ensure you find one that’s right for you. Subsidized: Based on financial need. The government pays the interest while the student is in school… Unsubsidized: These are not based on financial need, so the student is responsible for the interest charges from the date the loan is issued.

My dad took out an equity loan for $150,000 two years ago and still has only been paying the monthly interest. Last year the interest alone amounted to $10,000 annually. My dad makes close to $200,000 a year but has lost a lot of money in stocks, and his savings are nearly empty. I was wondering if I could receive financial aid because of the outstanding loans or will I be denied financial aid right away because of his high income.
Anyone can get fin aid regardless of income. Just remember, financial aid is a very broad term and includes student loans, you will be able to take out a student loan and he will be able to take out a parent PLUS loan for you if he wants. (Your limit will be 5500 a year as a dependent freshman.
You will not be able to get any free grants because you Dad does have a high income. The government doesn’t reward people who have high debt. There are no questions on the application about debt…. only income.

I’ve heard of a type of financial aid for college where you do not have to pay back any of it. Where and how do you sign up for this?

What if right after college someone magically won the lottery. And he’s currently playing a certain amount of money every month on those loans. Would they be required to continue those payments or could the just pay off the loans all at once?
You can pay them all off at once with no penalty as long as they are federal student loans. Be sure to call your loan servicer to obtain the correct payoff amount for the day you want to payoff the loan, as interest accrues daily.
