    Try your school first, they should have finaid information. Then grants and scholarship websites.
    About loans in bulk, do the math. Higher interest rate, versus interest rates for money sitting in the bank.
    Before getting the loan, make sure to ask the following:
    Early payment penalties, (if you pay early, do they charge you more?)
    Disbursement fees, (or any other charge for lending you the money)
    Interest rates increases, (fixed rate? for how long? variable rate? what is the reference?
    Check out Sallie Mae’s best practices page
    Best of luck

    SCAMMER ALERT !!!! Beware of the Nigerian SCAM. Never send any Money upfront via western union, money gram, to Nigeria,Canada, any other country in hopes of getting a loan. If you send money upfront you will never see your loan or money again. Report these internet frauds to the IC3 division of the FBI, your states Attorney General’s office. Stay away from internet lenders wanting up front phony fees. It is completely illegal to ask for fees upfront for any loan. BEWARE OF these internet frauds.
