Taking a student loan

Q: I would like to know that my child needs to go college next year but I would not be able to put up with all the cost because I have other children which go to private Islamic school. So I need to pay for their fees so is it allowed to get a student loan for the college child?

A: It is permissible if it is not interest based.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
