People considering applying for student loans in California might be surprised to know that California has a huge grant program that provides money to people going to college for various fields. You may not have to borrow as much money as you think.
The California State Aid Commission
The California State Aid Commission, or CSAC, is a valuable resource when looking for funds for college. Their website has a list of all the grants and scholarships available to people looking for student loans in California, as well as the necessary requirements for obtaining them. There are grants available specifically for people who want to go to nursing school with incentives if you graduate and work in a state run facility. Also, there are grants for people studying to be teachers, with incentives to stay and teach in the great state of California. One of the great things about going to college in California is the wide availability of assistance and the fact that the government makes it available and rewards you for staying in the state and giving back.
A Little Research Goes A Long Way
So before you apply for a California student loan, make sure you check out all your options. Talk to your school's financial advisor and check out the California State Aid Commission. You will have to fill out a form for federal financial aid for most of the grants, and this also tells you if you are qualified to receive a California Federal Stafford Loan. This is a low interest California student loan that does not require a credit check and does not have to be paid back until after you graduate.

Rates are usually competitive, and many offer generous plans for paying the money back when it's time. College is expensive, but if you're in the beautiful state of California, you just might get a little extra help. It's worth looking into.
