		<description>Many student loans, especially private student loans, start accumulating interest as soon as you take them out.

If you want to get a student loan that you don&#039;t have to pay interest for then you should apply for a Federal Perkins Loan or a Subsidized Stafford Loan, which are both federal government student loans. 

Here are the steps you need to take to get them:

1)  Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

2)  The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don&#039;t need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

Also, have you thought of grants or scholarships? These are free money that you don&#039;t have to pay back. Here are some good sites to check out:

		<description>I took out a student loan in 1990 for a little over $3,000, and it now is $18,000.  The interest and penalties are very high.  Check into it first.  The school I went to left in the middle of the night and was not an accredited school.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Colleges usually have a &quot;Student Affairs&quot; type office and maybe could answer your questions.  Good luck.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
