I would like to go back to school beginning this summer. Will my 13 affect any financial aid I apply for?

I've looked this up before and the answer is that you can still get financial aid if you've filed BK. You of course couldn't get private student loans, but from the Fed, sure. I don't have the link to offer you though, I'm sorry. Check out Sallie Mae's site, they probably have it written out.Filed Chapter 7 on 2/22/11, 341 meeting held 3/30/11, relief of stay on foreclosure 4/12/11, relief of stay on auto 5/17/11, Discharge on 6/6/11!

Probably not in fact it may help - speak with the financial aid person at the school you wish to attend. There are various options available for people with financial issues and they will work with you._________________________________________

Here's the link to the FinAid page on bankruptcy and student loans - http://www.finaid.org/questions/bankruptcy.phtml. You'll find this a wealth of reliable information about what's possible around student loans during an active bankruptcy. Good luck!I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.

I got my student loans while going through a chapter 7. The only thing the school may ask is a signed statement from your trustee that it is okay to obtain the student loans. Even though I was going through a 7 I had to have a signed statement that the trustee was finished with my case and was awaiting a discharge from my debts. I had to also submit the information the trustee put on pacer stating this information and my lawyers information.Chapter 7 filed on 4/23/2010

I have three children in college. I have filed for chap 13 my husband has not. You will get financial aid no problem. Also I have since I filed got 25000 in parent plus loans for my kids. The funny part is that they make both parents apply my husband's credit is perfect and I am in a chap 13 he always gets denied and I get approved all the time. I dont understand.
