By law you cannot be denied a student loan on the basis that you filed bankruptcy.

Generally a student loan is listed in a bankruptcy case and will not be discharged unless you then sue them in the case and prove an undue hardship.

Your BK will not make you ineligible for student loans or other forms of financial aid. Talk to financial aid officer at your school. Good luck.

The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994 states that you cannot be denied a student loan based on having filed a bankruptcy. File your taxes, fill out you FAFSA, and go back to school. If you are in a current Chapter 13, you may need to inform the court/get court permission.

You must pay student loans in bankruptcy. I would suggest you try fafsa.edu to try to get a federal loan.

Student loans are normally nondischargeable in bankruptcy. As you filed bankruptcy in 2010 I would've hoped that you would've had attorney at that time to help counsel you. You could also talk to your local university and term and whether or not there is some program or grant to you might qualify for in order to complete your education given your hardships.
