<prompt> Human: For a little background, Im a young adult going back to school. From school previously I probably have somewhere around 50K in student loan debt hanging over my head. Im now able to go for free through a grant because I dont make shit at my job. My schools financial aid dept awarded me the grant which is only covering part of my class although last semester it was much more and then nearly 5,000 in loans! I dont even want them and would much rather have them take them back if able or just take the money and make a payment towards my debt with that.My mother however has asked if she can borrow that additional money awarded and shell pay it back over a few years. My initial gut feeling is an instant no, but since its family Im faced with at least considering it. I currently dont have to pay my loans back as I am enrolled in school however once she starts making payments towards it to pay back the loan I would give her would that then take me out of the deferment Im currently in? Anyone have any advice or experience with this? Any help is greatly appreciated!Edit: Thank you all for the help and advice! Im gonna go with a no on this one for all of the great reasons mentioned below. Assistant: That is illegal. Student loans need to be used for your education. You might just politely tell your mother that this is against the rules.Human: Had no idea it was against the law! Thanks for letting me know. Definitely gonna stick with a no on this one  <response>: It gives you a good excuse, too. Its fraud, and a federal crime.
