The Future of Federal Student Loans

On Tuesday, March 31, the New America Foundation’s Education Policy Program hosted “The Future of Federal Student Loans” This event featured representatives from the Obama administration, the student loan community, and New America’s Education Policy Program to discuss the pros and cons of the President’s proposal to stop guaranteeing federal student loans and to instead make the loans directly. On Feb. 26, the Obama Administration laid out a bold plan to expand financial aid, paid for in part by ending the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and instead contracting with companies to service loans. This proposal is controversial in the lending community, the higher education community, and on Capitol Hill.

OIG Fraud Hotline” ~ ed.gov Sallie Mae was the _only_ financial lender involved in the diploma mill fraud… and now ask Congress for a bail out?? GO TO GOOGLE AND RESEARCH THESE 2 THINGS: 1. Westwood Diploma Mill Scam 2. 60 Minutes Sallie Mae Fraud Students say college misled them Tuesday, February 22, 2005, By BYRON HARRIS / WFAA-TV “The sales pitch said Westwood is accredited; students said that led them to believe the school has the same academic status as well-known colleges and universities. But the sales pitch doesn’t mention the fine print on the back of the contract, which said “Westwood College of Technology makes no guarantee of credit transfer.” In fact, these students found that when they presented their Westwood transcripts to other schools, the reaction was anything but positive.”You can just keep this … because we don’t recognize this institution as a school,” Moers recalled one school’s representative as saying. Westwood is headquartered in Denver, and claims it’s been around for more than 50 years. However, Colorado state incorporation records indicate the current owner began business in 1986. …talk with News 8 about complaints against the school, but when a crew got there for our scheduled interview, two representatives from the home

The Beast That Swallows Its Young

Consider defaulting on your college loans. FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD at www.mattkresling.com Is this fruition of my college years, arriving in an envelope, business-size, Sallie Mae Corporation letterhead? This is to inform you that you havent made a payment on your loan since the winter of, italicized, 1997. If at this time you cannot make the monthly payment we set, youll be required to remit to us the balance in full. You know, I dont think Ill pay— what kind of fool would feed the beast that swallows its young? Would feed the beast that swallows its young? Clearly, eightteen isnt old enough to drink but old enough to sign a promissary interesting. Military? Sure, join up. And who can put a pricetag on a top-notch education? How about 000? 000? Well, thats just for the textbooks. But what exactly is the consequence should I refuse to pay? Is there still a Dickensian debtors prison? Oh, there isnt? Well If at this time you cannot make the monthly payment we set, well be required to revoke what every citizen fears: your card for digging your hole deeper in debt to the beast that swallows its young, to feed the beast that swallows its young. Everyone must go to university. Without a good degree, how will you pay the lenders who staked you while attending university? And everyone must grow the university. This is to inform you that Ill never make a payment. This is to inform you that Ill never make a payment to the beast that swallows its young.

STUDENT LOANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Ok, I am going to be a sophomore in college this year at the University of Tennessee. Tuition, along with room and board, and a meal plan, is going to be approx. 14,000 for the year (Aug-May). I don’t qualify for federal aid, my parents make too much money, yet we can’t pay for my schooling. I did get ,500 in Stafford loans though. But even after that, I need about ,000 in additional private student loans to cover the rest after my scholarship.

I applied by myself and didn’t get approved because I don’t have any credit. My parents didnt get approved as cosigners, neither did my sisters (which got approved last year), or SEVEN other working people I tried. (a couple of which make k+ a year alone) I mean, really, what am I going to have to do to get an education? It shouldn’t be this hard!

And I know the economy sucks right now… but really?
