I don't get it. Why can't you get loans? You don't pay them back while you are in school, and afterwards the minimum cost per month is pretty low. I had full, $16k per term FAFSA support for 12 terms, and then needed one more to finish some things up (poor planning). Federal student loans saw me through.
Although, yes, it's immensely frustrating that they take whatever money they can. I spent all the money I saved up from high school right before college so they couldn't take it away.
- hga 13y agoMy school requires the College Board CSS PROFILE, and for one thing, my parents would have never filled it out. I also needed twice that if we assume last academic year's costs; perhaps when the financial aid people I spoke to said I was SOL they meant they couldn't come close to what was required, although by policy the school's financial aid is 100% means tested. I don't remember there even being any pure merit scholarships.
- ingrid 13y agoI did get offered the option to only take out a $104 subsidized Stafford loan for the school year. Unfortunately, I cannot take out an alternative loan. I am a US citizen and of the people that have offered to cosign a loan for me they were rejected. So alternative loans are not an option.
