Could I get an athletic scholarship?

Can students on full athletic scholarship get student loans?

• My younger brother is getting ready to take off to school and we have one big question that neither of us can answer. He's recieving a full athletic scholarship, so tuition, books, room and board, all of these things are already paid for. however he needs money to live on, would he be eligible for a student loan, and if so can he use it on regular living expenses since there are no educational expenses?

• Answer:

  He may be able to apply for private student loans to cover daily expenses. After all, private loans are to "supplement" other sources of financial aid (according to the site cited below). Personally, I had a combination of financial grants, loans and private loans to get me through college although I didn't get any scholarship funding.
