They dont do credit checks to get a Stafford Loan in which the govt pays the interest until you get finish with school. But private student loans you might not qualify. As long as you dont have a student loan default on your credit you should be able to get up to the limit that the government sets according to what year you are in (frershman, soph, jun, senior).
