If you’re looking for a private student loan where you can get your check in about a week and can defer payments until after graduation, you can apply online for a Think student loan.
But before you opt for a private student loan, you should search for all the free money you can get which usually comes in the forms of grants and scholarships. Fastweb is one of the premier scholarship search engines so start there.
Second, pursue federal student loans like the popular Stafford program. Stafford Loans are guaranteed by the federal government and, as a result, offer lower interest rates than private student loans.
Finally, after exhausting your scholarship and federal student loan options, consider private student loans like Think, Astrive and Monticello student loans. Before you commit to any particular lender, however, do your homework and seek out the private loan option that best meets your needs.

ASTRIVE bounces loan checks, students paying interest and starving, destroying credit.
Nobody cares! U.S. Govt. and News Organizations refuse to act!
Somebody…HELP!
