    Getting student loan / financial aid after BK?

    I'm looking to go to school.

    I will be discharged this month. So here is my question: Is it possible to get financial aid or student loan right after a discharge of BK?

    Thanks all

    It is absolutely possible - see http://www.finaid.org/questions/bankruptcy.phtml . FinAid provides a great explanation of how student aid works after bankruptcy.

    Good luck - hope you find the money you need at a reasonable rate you can easily repay when school is done.
    I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.

      My husband is working on his Master's. He applied for, and was approved while we were still awaiting discharge! Absolutely no different than before. Don't know if that's the norm, but it was our experience. Good luck to you!
