I think you can fill out the FAFSA and any student loan at any age, as long as you are a student. The only thing is that you will have to count your own income if you are not a dependent of a parent and many times that can hurt you if you make even slightly too much in FAFSA’s eyes. I had a friend who was filling out the FAFSA and since she was only 19 she HAD to count her parents income but she was living on her own and so she had to put her income as well and all that together made her look like she did not need money for school when she is really not well off at all and actually was forced to work 2 jobs just to keep her apartment. Its a hard form for people because many times it can make you look better off and like you don’t need help when you do, but it’s always good to fill it out and at least try for the loans and grants the gov offers.

Student loans you can get anytime, but be really, really, REALLY careful because they have insane interest rates and it may cost even more if you choose to defer payment until you are out of school. If you have to get a student loan make sure you read the fine print very carefully, go to an advisor if you don’t understand something, and try to go with a bank you trust and that knows you first before turning to any other company. Good luck!!!

There are no age limits, however if you are under 24 you need to include your parents’ income information. He should fill out the FASA and see what comes about. Unless you have children you need to make very little income. Stafford loans are the best because you are gaunted a certain amount of money and if he already has an associates degree, then all of his expenses should be covered. The best way to get loan is to pick the school, fill out a FASA, and then go to finical aid at the school and they will assist him in getting a loan. Not all schools accept all loans and the school will know the best loans for his situation.

There are no age limits on financial aid. If his Expected Family Contribution is low then he may be able to qualify for grants, one again these do not have age limits. If you are asking if he can be reimbursed for what he paid out of pocket, then no he cannot. If he is planning on going back to school he need to file the FAFSA at fafsa.ed.gov and they will automatically send it to his school.
