I am a unemployed full-time student. I have been making due on my financial aid money but I will not receive it until Jan 27th. I am broke and bills are due. Is there any way I could get a loan or an advance on my financial aid? Its not offered by my school. Oh yeah and I have no one to borrow it from. Please help.

If you have a checking account the bank should be able to offer you overdraft protection. Get this from them. It can usually be up to $500. That way you can take it out after you leave from the ATM. Even though your account says you have no money they will let you overdraft up to the $500, or whatever you choose. You can pay it back in small payments or just when you get your financial aid money. I was in the same situation once. Another idea is to go to a check &go or somewhere like that. It usually has a fee I think but it's better than late bills. Hope is all goes well for you.

you could apply for a stafford loan and you could also get a job. I am a full time student, mother of 5 and work 2 jobs - 1 full time and 1 part time

The Ministry of Social Services In your area may be of help, they would expect the monies to be repaid once you have received your students loan.

Talk to your local bank and sell some of your items on www.ebay.com or www.craigslist.com
