I am a 6th year undergraduate student just trying to take two classes during the summer so I can get my B.A. degree. The problem is, is that I’m only 23-classified as a dependend student which is SOOO far from the truth. I have exhausted my total loan amount for the year during Fall semester. My parents won’t co-sign loans for me or sign up for the Parent Plus loan. I have tried going to private lenders but have been declined based on my credit report and/or work history. I’ve only been employed at my current job for 3 months making $6.25 an hour as a part-time worker. Last job was 2 years.
I don’t know what else to do…All i want is to get my degree so I can start making REAL money and help out my family!
you can’t get any more financial aid. when you applied last year you were offered all the options to cover for fall, winter and then spring and summer.
I would start madly filling out scholarships and maybe ask your job if they have any scholarships.
i wish you luck
otherwise go to a communtiy college and get rates and see if your family will help out.

i think the fall semester loan covers fall and spring but not summer. Go to your financial aid office. Now!

Maybe it is in your best interest to stop taking classes until you’ve turned 24. That way you can apply for and receive considerably more financial aid. That’s the only thing I can think of other than trying to find scholarships and those are few and far between. Good Luck!
