This might make it hard to qualify if you have poor or fair credit.<\/li>\n<li><b>Might perform a hard credit pull: <\/b>Some banks, such as Sallie Mae, perform a hard credit check before you can see your personalized rates. This hard credit pull can have a slightly negative impact on your credit score. Online lenders, on the other hand, tend to use only a soft credit pull before showing you the rates you might qualify for, and will save the hard credit pull for when you apply for a loan.<\/li>\n<li><b>Longer application process:<\/b> Depending on the bank, it might take longer to get a student loan in comparison to an online lender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip:<\/b> If your private student loan is taking a while to process and you need money quickly, you could consider applying for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/emergency-loans\/\">emergency personal loan<\/a> to help cover expenses in the meantime. Once you get your student loan funds, you can use them to pay off the personal loan.<\/p>\n<p>Just keep in mind that you typically can\u2019t use a personal loan to pay for education costs like tuition and fees.

But keep in mind that when it comes to private student loans, it\u2019s important to only borrow what you need.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"private-loans-good-option\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>When are private student loans a good option?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to use federal student loans or gift aid (like grants and scholarships) before turning to private student loans. But private loans can be a great option to help fill any financial gaps. Here are a few situations when private student loans may make sense for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>You\u2019ve already applied for federal student aid.<\/b> If you\u2019ve reached the limit for federal subsidized and unsubsidized loans and still need money to pay for school, private student loans can fill any funding gaps in your education.<\/li>\n<li><b>You have good credit.<\/b> You\u2019ll need to have good to excellent credit to be eligible for many private student loans. If you aren\u2019t eligible, applying with a cosigner who has good credit can improve your chances, and could even get you a lower interest rate than you\u2019d get on your own.<\/li>\n<li><b>You don\u2019t qualify for an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan.<\/b> Private student loan repayment options tend to be more limited compared to federal loans. To qualify for some federal IDR plans, you have to be able to demonstrate partial financial hardship. Unfortunately, private student loans don\u2019t offer income-driven repayment plans.<\/li>\n<li><b>You\u2019re an international student.<\/b> If you\u2019re an international student studying in the U.S., it\u2019s likely that you won\u2019t qualify for federal student aid. Private student loans may be a good option to fund your education.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"how-to-take-out-student-loans\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to take out student loans<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to get a student loan, follow these four steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Fill out the FAFSA.<\/b> If you need to pay for school, start by completing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/applying-for-fafsa\/\">Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)<\/a>. Your school will use your FAFSA information to determine what federal financial aid you\u2019re eligible for. Your FAFSA results might also qualify you for school-based scholarships or grants.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apply for scholarships and grants.<\/b> It\u2019s a good idea to apply for as many scholarships and grants as you can. Unlike student loans, scholarships and grants don\u2019t have to be repaid \u2014 meaning they\u2019re essentially free money you can use for school.<\/li>\n<li><b>Take out federal student loans.<\/b> If you need to borrow money for school, starting with federal student loans is usually a good choice. This is mainly because you\u2019ll have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/federal-student-loan-benefits\/\">federal student loan benefits<\/a> and protections, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/refinance-student-loans\/income-based-repayment\/\">income-driven repayment plans<\/a> and student loan forgiveness programs. To apply for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/federal-student-loans-guide\/\"> federal student loans<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to fill out the FAFSA.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use private student loans to fill any gaps.<\/b> If you\u2019ve exhausted your scholarship, grant, and federal student loan options, private student loans could help fill any financial gaps. Like federal student loans, you can typically use private student loans for a variety of education programs, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/trade-school-loans\/\">trade schools<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/online-college-student-loans\/\">online colleges<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/community-college-student-loans\/\">community colleges<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b><i>Learn More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/federal-vs-private-student-loans\/\">Federal vs. Private Student Loans: 5 Differences<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"taking-out-student-loans-without-cosigner\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Taking out student loans with a cosigner<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll typically need good to excellent credit to qualify for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/best-private-student-loans\/\">private student loan<\/a>. A good FICO credit score is usually considered to be 670 or higher. This means you might have a hard time getting approved if you have a lower credit score than this or haven\u2019t established a credit history yet.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the case, here are a couple of options to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Apply with a cosigner.<\/b> Having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/cosigner-explained\/\">cosigner<\/a> with good credit can greatly improve your chances of getting approved for a student loan. In fact, most borrowers use a cosigner when applying for private student loans. Even if you don\u2019t need a cosigner to qualify, having one could get you a lower interest rate than you\u2019d get on your own.<\/li>\n<li><b>Build your credit.<\/b> If you can wait to take out a loan, you could spend some time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/build-credit-for-college-student\/\">building your credit<\/a> before applying in the future. You can improve your credit in a few ways, such as making on-time payments on all your bills, paying down credit card balances, or getting a credit-builder loan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that your credit also affects the interest rates you\u2019ll qualify for. In general, the higher your credit score, the lower your rate. Having a cosigner with good credit might also help you get a better rate, which can save you money on your overall loan cost.<\/p>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>For example: <\/b>Say you qualify for a $25,000 student with a fixed interest rate of 7% and a 10-year repayment term. With these terms, you\u2019d end up paying $290 per month with a total repayment cost of $34,832.<\/p>\n<p>But if you applied with a cosigner for the same 10-year term and were able to get a 5% interest rate, you\u2019d pay $265 monthly with a total cost of $31,819 \u2014 meaning you\u2019d save $3,013 overall by having a cosigner. <\/div><\/div>\n<p>Whether you apply with a cosigner or not, it\u2019s important to consider how much a student loan will cost you so you can be prepared for any added expenses.

A fixed rate will remain the same over the life of your loan, which means your payment won\u2019t ever change. A variable rate might be lower in comparison \u2014 however, it can also fluctuate over time.<\/li>\n<li><b>Repayment term: <\/b>The shorter the term, the less you\u2019ll pay in interest. Because of this, it\u2019s usually a good idea to choose the shortest term you can afford.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cosigner release: <\/b>Some lenders allow cosigners to be released from the loan once you\u2019ve made on-time payments for a certain amount of time. If you\u2019d like to remove your cosigner from the loan in the future, be sure to check whether the lender offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/cosigner-release-student-loans\/\">cosigner release<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Discounts: <\/b>Depending on the lender, you might be able to take advantage of discounts.
