Before borrowing money, make sure you explore all of your options. You may qualify for grants and scholarships.
First check for local scholarships that are not advertised nationally. Good places to start are with your employer and your parents' employers, your bank, local rotary clubs and community organizations, your religious organization, your school, your local library, foundations, and organizations that represent your cultural heritage, career field, or that of your parents.
Also, check with the school you plan on attending, which often offer scholarships for specific career fields or scholarships for individuals only attending their school. Many schools will have these scholarships, along with other local scholarships, listed on their website or a printed scholarship list available from the financial aid office.
