I have applied for a student line of credit through scotia bank. Both my parents have co-signed it. I dont have very much savings because I just paid half of my tuition. Do you think i will qualify?
If your parents are considered strong co-signers then you will get your student line of credit. (because if you default and run up the card and then not make your payments on time... they get to pay it off).
It is the same as a credit card.
You get a preset spending limit and of course a monthly bill.

Alfredo Abdo won his case in bankruptcy court this week, with the court concluding that the Royal Bank of Canada was at least partly responsible for what happened.
“I question whether advancing all that money at one time was prudent banking on the part of RBC,” registrar Richard Cregan said in a written decision.
Abdo was a promising engineering student at Dalhousie University in September 2004. He had good grades, a scholarship and lived at home with this family.
In his second year, at the age of 19, he borrowed $20,000 from RBC though a student line of credit. He made bad investments online, according to court documents, and he accepted an offer from the bank for another loan of $30,000 to solve his problem.
