Student Loans for people with bad credit that take only to co-signers credit into consideration?


I have bad credit, but need a student loan. Stafford loans only offer $200 because I am on scholarship, but I still need money for books and rent. I have a co-signer with good credit available. Are there any loans that will just look at their information instead of my own?
And where would I find these?

    I am a retired banker and the answer is yes. Some student loans are guaranteed by government while others are not. If not gov’t guaranteed then most likely a guarantor/s (co-signer/s) will be requested. Almost always this will have to be parents with sound credit. This is a requirement because a very great many students after they graduated declared bankruptcy and walked away from these loans. Now the guarantor/s (co-signers) must implement the guarantee and pay the loan. You then have the obligation to pay them back since they will likely be parents.

    You can try Sallie Mae, but it’s hard to get a loan these days. Try local banks too.
