Q: Are there specific student loans for part time students in college, or do part time college students apply for the same financial aid and student loans as full time college students?

A: For federal financial aid, including federal student loans, a student’s full or part time status can affect how much financial aid they will qualify for, or if they will qualify at all. Most schools will consider anything over 6 credits as part time, however part time and full time student status requirements can be different for each school. Students must check with their school to be clear on the requirements for fulfilling part time student status. Part time students are eligible for federal financial aid, including federal student loans for part time students, while students who are considered below part time are not eligible for federal financial aid.

For some federal student loans, such as the Perkins and subsidized Stafford, the amount a student will qualify for can be dependant on their status as either a part time student or a full time student. T

Last week, this blog (Poor credit auto loans are within reach) reported on research that suggested that lenders are approving more auto loans for people with poor credit. On Thursday, Experian, one of the nation’s big-three credit bureaus, published a new survey that confirmed the trend.

Auto loans for prime and subprime borrowers

People with stellar credit scores could generally obtain auto loans (although some were turned down) even in the darkest days of the Great Recession. However, lesser mortals, who had either good or poor credit reports, frequently found it impossible to finance a car purchase.

The extent to which this has changed was reinforced last Thursday when Experian released new data that showed that the share of auto loans for new vehicles going to subprime borrowers was up by 11.1 percent between the first quarters of 2010 and 2011. People with damaged credit made up 10.57 percent of all buyers during the first three months of this year, compared with 9.81 percent during the same time last year.

The average credit score of new car purchasers in that quarter fell to 766 from 776 a year earlier.

The first thing that auto finance companies require when you need to get financing from them is information. While some auto finance companies will give you a rather small and easy to fill form the majority of companies today will throw a rather large form your way which is intended to be filled with as much detail as you possibly can. However many people overlook this and just fill in the places which are marked as important and leave all the optional spaces blank which often results in them either being turned down because of a lack of information or even if they are given auto finance it is very expensive.

The best way to work things out is to do things one step at a time. Before you start applying for auto finance you need to get your facts straight and unfortunately this is where many people get it wrong. When it comes to getting your facts straight the first thing you need to know is your credit score and what is going on with your credit in general.
