I have been working hard completing my education at Roosevelt University and then I thought that I would have a better chance to finish school earlier at Depaul University. The financial aid package was not generous but a financial aid counselor told me I could ask the financial aid administrator to review my file. Nothing happened still and the school is giving me the run around over and over again and it seems like they could not care less if I succeed or not. I have since then decided to go back to Roosevelt but I feel that it is not just how the world works to shut doors of opportunity to those who want to succeed and work hard to gain accomplishments but can not because of financial setbacks (being underemployed is my problem) I don't want this to damage my credit because all I want to do is finish what I started and receive my degree in Political Science.

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.
Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.
Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Try to ask for a parent loan from the school. If that doesnt I think you can qualify for a student get a loan from your school. I had the same problem.
