In general, traditional banks do not issue loans to people who have poor credit history, including student loans. But on some occasions, banks approve people for student loans if they can add a credit worthy co-signer to their applications. However, if it is not possible for you to provide a co-signer and if your credit history is not adequate to obtain a loan, then you should apply for the federal student loans. To get these loans, you do not need to have a good credit history and provide a co-signer.

 

So let us here discuss how to obtain student loan without a fair credit history and adding a co-signer to the application.

 

  • If you want to obtain a loan without a co-signer, you must apply for federal student aid by filling out the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA). You can get the FAFSA application in any college financial aid office, but the fastest way is to get it is online.

 

  • Before you fill the FAFSA, accumulate all the information on your income, including your W2 and the most recent income tax return.

 

  • Then visit the FAFSA website and fill out the application. If you do not have access to computer, you may also fill out the form in paper version. Enter all your personal information in the form, including your social security number, address, date of birth, marital status and other dependents, if any.

 

  • Provide the name of the college you are in or you are willing to attend, whether you stay on or off campus, and whether you have ever been convicted of any drug related crime. Remember, if you have been convicted of a drug related crime, you cannot apply for the federal student aid.

 

  • After filling out the form, review it and see if you have provided all the correct information on your FAFSA. Then submit it online or mail it to the address listed on the paper application. Once your form is processed, you will receive a letter from the federal government stating the amount you are expected to contribute to your own education and to your college.

 

In conclusion, if you want to acquire a student loan, but do not have a good credit score and cannot provide a co-signer, follow the above mentioned steps in mind. Following the steps you will be able to obtain a student loan easily.
