Smaller, local banks are your best bet. They are more willing to help out the little guy, as they are more one-on-one.

Sadly enough I am in the same situation. I need around $40K for pilot school. I applied for this loan through Sallie Mae and was denied. However they approved me for $5000. And that was when I didn%26#039;t even have a job. So if $5K helps go to Sallie Mae.

There%26#039;s just something about banks that they are stingy with their money. You would think that an education should be worth more than a car. But I guess they can%26#039;t repossess your education if you default on your loan. If you need more then I%26#039;d say we might be outta luck. However, if you find something else out, please let me know.
