Get a job and go to community college. Then after a year, sign the form colleges have to claim independance from parents. To do this you mut show proof that you are living by yourself through bills and wtc.. Then you will be able to get financial aid and loans.

try looking up FASFA on line to see what you qualify for. try calling a local community college and ask to speak to someone in financial aid. also, if your crime(s) against you were reported, and your batterer jailed, you may be eligible for money from the victims of crimes program....call your court house for that. good luck!

The college ought to have a financial aid office.  That would be the most important place to start.  If they are aware of other agencies to which you should apply, they'll give you points of contact.

You can get a loan legally speaking, just not a federally guranteed one unless you're a US citizen. That means you'd have to qualify for the loan & you just said your family went bankrupt, so that might be difficult. Also, your visa is probably conditional on you staying in school & may not allow you to work. If you can work & can take a little time off school, there are plenty opportunities where you can save up some money & get back to your education. I don't know how much you have left, but it might be expediant to pick up where you left off at a new school w/o paying the $5000. You won't be able to transfer your credits till you pay them, but you can go on with your education & save up over time to pay them off, then transfer those credits, after you pay them, in time to graduate. Just don't tell them about the previous school when you apply. You can also speak with your financial aid office about helping you find a scholarship.

Federal Aid is always your best option.  Even if you are not interested in the loans the the Department of Education provides, most scholarship organizations (including *colleges* that offer scholarships as part of their financial aid packages) are going to require you to file a FAFSA (to demonstrate your financial need).  Your loan default (I'm assuming here that your default was on a Federal loan) will show up on your FAFSA, plain as day and preclude you from obtaining further federal aid... that is, until you clean up your record.\n\nAs such, you need to resolve your default (not simply because you need Fin. Aid now but because a loan default will haunt you and your credit report for years).  Once you are out of default (which usually means making a certain number of on-time payments), you will again be eligible for Federal Aid and you will be much better off.  In fact...\n\nIf you are an independent student seeking your first undergraduate degree, you will not only be eligible for federal loans but grant aid as well (depending on your financial need).\n\nIf you choose not to resolve your default: there are private loan companies will still give you a loan.  You can do simple internet searches for education loans, but to make sure that the company you choose is legitimate, check with your college Financial Aid administrator. If you *must* go this route, it is in your best interest to pay attention to interest rates and repayment terms (remember: your loan default affects your credit which in turn affects the rate that you receive on your private loan).\n\nGood luck!

You can go back to school, but you will not be able to borrow any Federal Student Aid until you resolve your default.  A loan default will show up on your FAFSA and preclude you from obtaining both grant aid and self-help aid (loans, work-study)... Your Financial Aid Administrator may deny you insitutional scholarship as well.  Even if you don't go back to school, you should still resolve your default -- if only for the sake of your credit report and its effect on your ability to obtain a car loan, home loan, credit card, etc.  \n\nIf you do obtain a job while you are in default, the Department of Education has the right to garnish your wages, using them to pay off the defaulted loan.  It *does* happen.\n\nOnce you are out of default (which usually means making a certain number of on-time payments), you will again be eligible for Federal Aid and you will be much better off. \n\nIf you choose not to resolve your default: there are private loan companies will still give you a loan. You can do simple internet searches for education loans, but to make sure that the company you choose is legitimate, check with your college Financial Aid administrator. If you *must* go this route, it is in your best interest to pay attention to interest rates and repayment terms (remember: your loan default affects your credit which in turn affects the rate that you receive on your private loan).

The college does not take your money, the government takes it and gives it to the agency that has filed a claim against you. If you have received aid for school and did not pay it back, then there you go. It is legal. It is in the fine print when you apply for student loans.

filing pro se is actually quite straight forward.....however, since the new laws of October 2005....your current income must be below the state median .....if not, then you are ineligible for chap 7 and have to go chap 13...\n\nBefore you even file, you must complete a debt counseling class approved by the Trustee....Call your local Consumer Credit Counseling for a list of those approved to host the class.

You are SOL buddy.  Why don't you just go back to school and apply for financial aid.  Start off at a community college and go from there.  Take your basics and some remedial classes.  there is nothing wrong with that and it will help you with your other studies, trust me.  You still have plenty of opportunity and I suggest you take advantage of it and get a small part time job while going to school.  You can live in a dorm and get a dorm scholarship to pay for it.  You have options.  Don't blow it.

You can apply for a pell and or loan,. However the deadline has passed for Spring..you might be able to get  a loan. I would wait until Fall. Then you will have time to fill out the FAFSA and get it back, etc. and maybe a state grant if you get it in by the deadline.  Your advisor does NOT have to pay your bills..that is not her place to tell you when to start. It's her place to help you when you start. If you really want to go in the spring, take a course or 2, and then work or get on the ball and fill out the FAFSA...it will take 3-4 weeks to get it back and then the school processes it...you still won't get your money until mid semester. (If you go this spring)

Courts Can Order Payment of College Expenses Even Though the Child Has Reached Majority.\nAt one time, majority was reached at age 21. When it was reduced by law to age 18, a new problem was presented: Could the court order a parent to pay for his or her children's college expenses as child support, despite the fact that they would be over 18 when the payments were made? In most states, that question has been answered in the affirmative - if the parent has sufficient resources - although the courts are not required to make such orders.\n\nwas there an agreement to provide support for college filed with the courts? if you are not financially able to pay the college expenses , no they cannot make you. They do not court order married custodial parents to pay college if they are where they are able to or not. I do not think they can force you to, or kids all over would be suing parents for financial payment for college.

im not quite sure about #1 because the times have varied slightly when ive applied for mine...\n\nfor the second answer youll know how much help youre getting because you get a letter in the mail stating how much youre getting etc...\n\nyour classes wont be dropped but if financial aid doesnt cover them your liable to pay the school before you can go your next semester (atleast at mine its that way)

Check with the financial aid department of the school that you'll be attending.  I'm not sure, but you may be past the deadline for applying for grant assistance for the Spring semester.  Most financial aid departments have a generic package to fill out.  Once you turn it in, they'll get back to you with any federal assistance that's available to you, be it grants or low-interest loans.

It will affect your ability to get federal loans, the school could also opt to expel you but that probably depends on your specific situation.  Try keeping your nose clean from now on
