One can usually get student loans after bankruptcy so long as they meet the other eligibility requirements for those loans. Public policy mandates that a "well-educated" society is a "better" society, so for that reason student loans are protected from bankruptcy so lenders will freely give student loans without fear of being filed on. And, since student loans are excepted from discharge in bankruptcy, they're not generally too skittish about someone who has filed before. I have had several clients ask me that same question, and I tell them what I said above and I ask them to let me know if they ever do have a problem getting a student loan due to bankruptcy. So far, no one has ever called me saying the bankruptcy caused them any problems in getting student loans... for what it's worth. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
that is not necessarily true. i filed bankruptcy and have had a steady job and even paid off a car loan that was applied for after the bankruptcy and I still cant get student loans.
When you file for bankruptcy, you're still eligible for government loans, but not for private loans. These are the two basic types of loans. You should be able to qualify for government loans because these loans are based on need rather than credit
