Filing for bankruptcy while in college

[Scream2Death]

I am currently receiving student loans(stafford, perkins) and I am wondering if there will it be stopped when I file for bk.

Since all my student loans are on my credit report, I am wondering if it would cause a problem. I am (hopefully) 2 years away from getting my bachelors in a health occupational field.

thanks everyone

Financial aid is not affected by bankruptcy as long as you filled out a fafsa and got the aid from the school and it is government backed aid.

You may have to fill out a new promissory note for your student loans, but you will still be eligible for the loans.

you will still be eligible for stafford loans for school. I would recommend filing after the start of your quarter/semester and once you have received your disbursement.
They will ask you to sign a new MPN for the loans after you file, which may hold things up a bit if you don't keep up with your lender.

My lender cancelled my loans (without notification) 1 1/2 before school started. Luckily i called, and found out they needed a new MPN. It took about a week to get resolved because of processing- but i got everything before classes started.

As the others stated, you can still get Stafford Loans but that amount is limited per year and may not cover everything. I have a daughter in college utilizing Stafford Loans to help cover her tuition, books, etc. I would highly suggest you go to your school's fiancial aid office and talk to one of the financial aid folks - they have seen and heard it all, believe me and are the best source to help you as to the school you are in and what is needed and can be obtained in your situation.
