Are there any student loans that do not require a cosigner or excellent credit?

I am interested in finding private loans only. I have applied for a Parent Plus and got denied so I am eligible for at least 4000 in a unsub loan. I have also applied for a sub loan. Unfortunately I am not eligible for a Perkins loan or any other gov't loans. Are there any private loans that do not require a cosigner?

There are two sources for student loans — the federal government and private lenders. In order to obtain most federal student loans, you will first need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In most<!–instances the FAFSA is required for all federal financial aid including federal student loans. Deferment options are available while you are still attending school at least half-time. There are four main federal loan programs.

Federal loan consolidation is for students who are in repayment status or parents who wish to extend the repayment period on their current PLUS and obtain a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan–>you can combine all of your eligible federal student loans into one loan with a Federal Consolidation Loan. Consolidating also locks the interest rate you pay on your loan.
If you have a Social Security number and some credit history (even if not excellent) you can apply for a student loan through a bank without a co-signer. Sometimes your target school may have a tie up with a bank.
