Actually, if you end up going back to the same school you could do a petition for reinstatement. That works if you have a serious reason like a death in the family or hospital stay, psychological issues, etc. \n\nIf you are trying to go to another school, its an uphill battle. But it can be done. I am pretty sure that if you can complete one or two semesters successfully and petition, financial aid will most likely accept you back. \n\nIf not then you can always try a loan from a bank or scholarships if you have the time to hunt down the right ones. It is true that thousands, even millions of dollars go unclaimed from scholarships.

If u have a school in mind, contact the LEA (local education athority)for where the school is - They helped me to get student loans (which you only back when u can afford it and it is interest free) and financial aid.

I'd go back to high school again.  I didn't realize how valuable a free education was.  There are some classes I could have taken that would have been so beneficial to me now, and some other classes that were a total waste of time.  I also would not have been so lazy either and gotten better grades.

Are you registered with the dept of disability services at Dept of Human Services. Once registered and you get a doctors statement which proves your disabilty then if they have funds they will help you (most usually don't have funds in Spring but in Fall)..They paid all my tuition and so much on books..Then fill out the FAFSA and you should be able to get pell grants and loans. It's based on last years income. If you worked last year and now you are on social security you can get a financial aid override and they will ony count what you make on social security. It will be almost impossible to get reg. with DHS, get the paperwork, the FAFSA, etc. by spring term. It can be done but you may not get your loans until mid sem. or after.

check with your local court house, county preferably.  if they do not carry the classes, or books they can direct you to a place that can, for instince where i am from in my county they have it at the local collage, highschool, state represenative office, library.  now some are free and some cost money, but for some that do cost, if you pass the test they give you a little bit of your money back and you dont pay much in the first place.

It has happened to me once in the past.  No one else seems to think this is legal, but a community college had some of my tax return garnished.  I didn't even know I owed; thought I was paid in full.

No.  It is illegal to do so.\nHowever, the alumni association may have someone give your mom a job.  The college may give you a scholarship that covers tuition, room & board, book, tutors, etc.  A "friend of the school" may loan you a new car until graduation.  etc...\nBut, you can receive NO money.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEDUCT SOME OF YOUR TUITION AND SUPPLIES.  YOUR SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE SENT YOU A FORM FOR TAXES!

You can talk with your university about getting a computer loan. I had several friends that got their computers this way and didn't have to pay back the loan until they graduated.

Try taking the ACT or SAT.  If you score high, you may be eligible for some scholarships, depending on how high.\n\nAlso, many who do not qualify for Pell Grants still can get student loans, which do not need to be paid back as long as you are in school at least half time (6 semester hours).\n\nDid you go to the FAFSA website and apply for federal aid yet?  If not, do that first.

Yes you can. I did, and finished college 2 yrs before my high school classmates. But I still regret missing all of the stuff like prom and senior year

Go back to school.  Grants are available and loans can be deferred until you can afford to pay them back.\n\nInvest in your education.

You can get a grant to go back to college that will pay for your books and you won't have to pay it back.  My daughter is a single mom and wanted to go back to college.  She is doing it online.  Once in awhile she has to go to the local community college for a class, but mostly she does it online, that way she is home with her daughter.  Do a search for student financial aid for your state or if you have a local college call them and find out all the details.\n\nGood luck

Very, very few colleges or universities include the costs of textbooks in their tuition. Your bill that you will get from the college includes the tuition cost (pay the professor, operating costs, etc.), room and board (the minimum double oocupancy 20x20 room and a meal plan consisting of 100% fat and starch in a barely edible form) and miscellaneous charges for activities fees and such. Books are almost always extra, as each professor chooses what texts he wants to use. Of course they will pick the most expensive books. That is why they are mentioning financial aid. You can get any number of grants or loans to cover these costs. That is, if you qualify for financial aid. You literally have to be from a family that is barely above poverty level in order to get the small amount they offer you. When you finish the course and prepare to sell your books back to the bookstore, you will be told that ither they are not buying back (teacher will not use book next year) or that you will receive a gracious amount equal to 10% of the original cost. Come back the next semester and you will find that your $100 book, which you sold back and got $15, is now being sold for $75.\n\nBiggest scam in the history of higher education....\n\nYour best bet is to talk to someone at the college in the admissions department and have them give you a better estimate of expected costs.

Your Pell Grant would never have been disbursed directly from the Feds to you.  If you received a check from the school, they would have first applied it to your student accout and, then, if you owed nothing, they would have cut you a check.  \n\nTechnically, yes, Pell grant funds are meant to be used for educational expenses, but when your school creates your "Cost of Attendance" budget, it is allowed to allocate \n"a reasonable amount... for the documented rental or purchase of a personal computer that the student will use for study for the enrollment period. For example, a computer purchased in the summer for use in the fall term may be included."  If they have cut you a check, it means that your Financial Aid has not exceeded your educational expenses, so you're fine to use the check as you see fit.

no...course i didn't go to college, couldn't afford it.  but "basic education" no longer allows you to provide for yourself and your family.  and now, a degree no longer offers you the financial security it used to, unless you have an Masters.....i just wish i could pay my rented house, utilities, used 17 yr old car and still eat.
