College Student Loans
Rejected

College student loans have actually been rejected as financial aid for college by some schools, themselves.


A number of colleges with large endowments have said, "No more!" to their students graduating with crushing debt.

But, not all "no loan" schools are actually that.

Included in this label are schools with loan caps, or schools that have minimum income requirements for a no loan guarantee.

And some schools who had 'no loan' policies a year ago, have now backed away from this policy because of the recession.

So, which schools have the best "no loan" policies?
