This will be touchy.\n\nPlease don't take this wrong. \n\nI don't know if you can do anything about it or not, even with some legal help. The way everyone else is going to see it, is that you broke the law and went to prison. You could not pay the loan bills because you were in prison. You were in prison because of drugs, which is against the law. So, being that you can't pay a bill which you "voluntarily" took on by getting a student loan because "you" broke the law, then the collectors or whoever is not going to be merciful. \n\nPlease don't think I am being a butthole. I am in the military and after a couple of years, I understand how people of authority think. They don't care about how you got into the situation you are in or why. All they see is that you got yourself into it. They also know that you know right from wrong. So regardless of what you saw growing up, or if you come from a broken home, or if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time or whatever could have possibly led to your situation. All they think is, you are responsible for your own actions. \n\nSo in their eyes you are responsible for your debt. Regardless of what has happened from the time you took on the loan until now. \n\nLike I said, please don't take this wrong. I am not lashing out at you or against you. I am just telling you how they are most likely thinking. I am not judging you or condeming(sp?) you. \n\nSo seek legal help ASAP. I wish you luck.

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

Being a non-resident will prevent you from getting most kinds of Federal or State aid.  But, private schools and state-funded schools (in some instances) often have funds for which non-residents are eligible.\n\nAll of this depends very much on the particular school, so you really need to contact the Financial Aid office at the school or schools you are interested in attending.  Explain your situation to them and ask them what's available.  They're there to help you.

First, there is no procedure that the bill says the jail has to follow to request the money from you. They must develop a form that they use to determine your financial ability to pay them and then they can charge you. If you refuse to pay, they can then file a lawsuit within 12 months of your release in civil court requiring you to pay. If they do not do so within 12 months, their bill will be unenforceable, but otherwise, they did nothing illegal.

All you can do is just sign up for everything...loans, scholarships and grants.  The financial aid office should have info on everything available...just ask!

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.

Unfortunately you can't.  If the State deems him worthy of assistance, then he is poor.  The state can offer you some assistance if you really need it.

Of course you can! If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you can apply for financial aid.\n\nIf your parents were not required to file a tax return and thus did not file, it's not like FAFSA requires them to. You just mark on your FAFSA "will not file" on the question regarding a tax return. Then you must still provide information for any income earned from working, or untaxed income such as disability benefits.\n\nGo to www.fafsa.ed.gov and apply right away if you plan on attending the Spring 2007 semester (Jan-May07) or the Summer 2007 semester. If you won't be starting till Aug07 (the 07-08 school year) then you must wait till after Jan 1, 2007 to complete the 07-08 FAFSA.\n\nIf you have any further questions, your best bet is to contact your school's Financial Aid Office. The people there are trained to answer your financial aid questions.

I am not sure, but I don't think they can if you aren't getting anymore income.  Call a social service agency or legal aid, someone there can probably tell you.  Don't call the housing agency, they may not be upfront about everything.  I do know that in Indiana you can't keep housing assistance if you are convicted of a drug related felony.  Good luck.

Fill out the FAFSA.  They will give you information on the PELL Grant (a federal grant), any state grants, and any loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) you may be eligible for.

No, because the rules for collecting unemployment reqire that the claimant be available to work and actively seeking work. An inmate is not available to work and certainly can't go on job interviews.

yes because you signed a contract to pay. if you dont you go off bond and go back to jail. and you will have to bond out all over again

Yes, grants are only issued to students who are need based, so if your family's income exceeds a certain amount, you may not be eligible for a grant. Loans and scholarships are still an option for you though! Hope that helps!
