What are some options for me to able to pay for college?

My parents have alot of debts to pay off but I am pretty sure they don't qualify for financial aid because they make to much money, I am 21 years old. They don't have money to send me to college, and I have a loan out right now because I had to buy a new car, are there some colleges in Illinois that don't cost that much so I can get some kind of education and if my parents can't help pay for college is there anything I can do myself like a loan and is there some way they won't have to co-sign on the loan? Any advice would be helpfull thank you!

Ever consider getting a job? You're an adult and yet you're expecting your parents to pay for your education? Grow up, get a job, and finance it yourself.

This is really subjective. When you apply to colleges, they really look at the overall financial situation and not just the income/assets etc.I recommend apply to a few top privates. They generally have a much bigger funding/financial aid packages. Also, with your FAFSA, if there is a place to write special circumstances, you can write up your case and see if they approve you.For privates, they also have a CSS profile, which is a different way to analyze your financial needs and you can mention the liabilities, debts, other siblings going to school etc. There is a specific section in there for special needs/situations, so it might be worth a shot.Also, once you get into a university, most universities have a predetermined method of offering loans, incase you are not covered by financial aid.Another option could be going to a junior college and working simulataneously for two years. Then apply for a transfer. This way, you bear the real cost for only two years (funded by 2 yrs of savings and minimal loans) and do not compromise too much on the experience and quality of education.

Certain student loans require a cosigner if the student or parent soliciting a loan does not meet minimum credit requirements to receive a loan. This applies to both private and some federal loans; the PLUS loans for graduate students, which can be received by parents or students, have minimum credit requirements, and in either case, parent or student can use a cosigner with good credit to sign on the loan. Getting student loans without a cosigner is possible<!--being a cosigner is a significant risk, as the cosigner will be responsible for any debt the borrower does not pay. The Stafford federal loans do not require a credit check or cosigner, and should be the first step in your search for college funding. http://best-loans.awardspace.com/student-loans.htmIf you do not have any resource for receiving family assistance for attending college, you may qualify for financial aid, subsidized Stafford loans, or the subsidized Perkins loan, which is the hardest loan to attain but the best offer available. If you have a good credit rating-->lenders will offer you Prime interest rates on your student loans; if you have no credit or bad credit, they may ask that you have a cosigner. Ask at several different financial institutions what they can do to accommodate your education finance needs.Usually bad credit loans are given at a higher interest rate and/or with extra fees, but you can lower this number by calling different lenders and demanding the best possible rate.

Ok you can do two things: work and get loans. You can get student loans and personal loans. I believe that loans are worth getting for an education. As long as you get a degree in something useful. A person is bound to get hired if they have a useful degree like an accounting degree instead of an art history degree.I'm not saying that you have to have an accounting degree. It was just an example. Go to a bank or a credit union and speak to someone about loans for college including personal loans. See what they can do for you. I'm in the same boat that you are girl. My mom tried her best and now I have to foot the rest of the bill for college. She's focusing on her retirement and I don't want to take away from that. Have you tried a capital one loan? I have them for a cc company, they offer personal loans and you can use that for college tuition. Hope I helped.
