Obtaining Student Loans
There are two sources for student loans: the federal government and private lenders. In order to obtain most
federal student loans, you will first need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A college
student loan is a sum of money available to full time students, with a minimum level of interest required during
the period in which they are registered as full time students. These types of loans rarely cover the entire cost of
education, and most applicants refer to other financial aid options in order to meet their needs.
Best Instruction and Training
In most instances the FAFSA is required for all federal financial aid including federal student loans. Deferment
options are available while you are still attending school at least half-time. In order to qualify for
financial aid and grants the student must be enrolled in programs offered at a school that is
accredited.
Prospective medical assistant students should seek out schools where caring instructors have "real world" experience and are qualified through certification in the
field which they teach. Only this way will medical assistant students receive the knowledge and training they
need to succeed. Those who need financial aid for their career training have even more reason to
opt only for approved, accredited, and properly licensed educational programs that meet the clearly defined and
strictly upheld criteria of regional or national accreditors and government agencies.

I'm a real go getter and everyone in
my class was really hurt when we found out we were not getting certified... I feel like our school might be
"black balled" and it's hurting the good students. We did hear some companies say they would not use (our
school's) grads any longer because of the way they performed, appearance, lack of knowledge and that was with
all the programs, not just the medical ones.
Federal Loan Consolidation
Federal loan consolidation is for students who are in repayment status or parents who wish to extend the
repayment period on their current PLUS and obtain a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan you can combine
all of your eligible federal student loans into one loan with a Federal Consolidation Loan. Consolidating also
locks the interest rate you pay on your loan.
