Hi! I'm mostly a lurker, but I thought I'd chime in here to offer some additional info. I know mona gave you some info in your first post on this, but here's a link talking about Stafford loans. Stafford loans are based on income and financial need, not your credit score. So even if you have massively shitty credit, you can typically get a Stafford loan. They also have a variety of different repayment plans when you're done to help defer out the expesnes of it.
Also, as you're looking at schools, talk to their Financial Aid department. Unless they're completely useless tools, they should be able to help you track down whatever loans and grants you're eligible for.
