How many kinds of federal student loans are there?
Harriet J. asks: How many kinds of federal student loans are there? I know about the Perkins Student Loan, Stafford and Grad PLUS Loans but I’m not sure about others. I also know you can get private student loans from different lenders. Also, I need to know when to apply for the student loans?

Can I get a graduate student loan if I have a home foreclosure on my credit report?
Question: I know that you can get federal student subsidized loans and nonsubsidized loans if you have bad credit, but these non-credit based loans only goes up to $20,000. The school I want to go to cost around $70K. Are there any other types of loans out there available to graduate students that have bad credit? My FICO score now is 430 because I have a home foreclosure on my credit report.
