Financial aid for Masters degrees through on line college/university?

Where is the best place to get financial aid for a Masters degree online? I have not used any Strafford loans at all. I have excellent credit and I don't want to have to re-pay my loan until I have completed my program. Any personal reccomendtaions you have would be great! Thank you :) I'm a non traditional student, old, married, so no parent co-sign loans please.

1. Take out federal Stafford loans first before you commit to taking out private loans. Stafford lending at the grad level is $8500 Subsidized Stafford, and $12,000 Unsubsidized Stafford per year. After that consider taking out the Graduate Plus loan. Unlike the undergrad product for parents, the Grad Plus allows the grad student to apply and receive the loan instead of their parents. It is a fixed interest rate (8.5%) loan through the govt that carries all the same benefits of the Stafford loans. These are your best options at the grad level.
2. wachovia has a good student loan program!!
