<p>Q: Can I get a Stafford Loan if I have bad credit/declared bankruptcy/have late payments on credit cards?
A: Yes. The Stafford Loan is not a credit-based loan - it is a need-based loan and your eligibility for it is governed by your FAFSA submission, not your credit report.</p>
<p>ebeeeee, thanks for bringing a sigh of relief.</p>
<p>the only time that credit problems will interfere with gaining a stafford loan is if the student (not the parent or spouse) has defaulted on a loan and the loan is still in default.</p>
