I too, needed money for school. I will graduate next year and it seems like the funds seem to become more and more scarce. I went to the financial aid counselor and cried my heart out. At first they said that my husband and I made too much money last year therefore, I wasn't eligible for financial aid. My financial situation did a 360 degree turn. When I returned to the US, I lost an income. I didn't have any extra money to pay for school. As I said earlier, I cried begged, pleaded with this lady to give me some assistance. The only thing she could do for me was to defer my payments until after I graduate (which is a year from now). I still think I got a raw deal but it's better than nothing. I can concentrate on school and not worry about paying for it. Just my two cents.
Please go to your financial aid office and talk to them. Hey you never know.
