How can I get a personal loan?

Does anyone know how I can get a personal loan to be used for education when you have VERY poor credit?

• I am signed up to go to nursing school. Classes start next week. The total cost for the program is like 42K. (Books and some uniforms are included in the tuition). I have gotten Financial aid and Federal student loans for the first 26K. Because of the type of school I am going to attend that is the most I can get in federal student loans and financial aid during the 23 month program. I need to get a personal loan to cover the rest, but my credit is REALLY DAMAGED. There is a loan I can get through the school if I have a co-signer. I was considering asking a few of my family members to see if one of them would be willing to co-sign for me. I have been trying with the school to get this paid. I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that would give a person in my credit situation a personal loan to pay for my education. I have waited over 4 years to get into a nursing program and I don't want to lose my opportunity. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance for any answers I get.

• Answer:

  There is nobody taht is going give you a loan to make-up the difference from 23 to 46, but the only company I know is the Princeton review ucle rich. Go to Priceto review (google) Then paying for college \ Then Rich Uncle This is a loan that does nt goes based on credit, so taht is good. But it will never be as much as you want, for that get scolarships. Ask Your FinancialAid officer if you are eligible for SMART GRANT, a new fund for science students. try www.fastweb.com for scolarships
