Ok my mother agreed to co sign my student up untill the papers arried at my house, im not eligable for ANY type of financial aid because of my parents GROSS income, too bad fasfa doesnt realize or care that my father put my family in deep debt when he decided to build his own house that hasent sold yet,
but any ways, even after the student loan i got from fasfa i still need $10,000, my credit isnt good because of somiin that happen to me in washington mutual, there sayin i owe them money which is impossibile but im havin a lawyer involved in that right now, but my mother and i got approved for the loan but she wont sign them, im tryin to explain to her that i can pay the little $150 a month my loan is goin to be to pay back the loan for 10 years after i graduate, plus i have another bank account with bank of america now so i have a place to save money, but she wont do it, and i need this loan to live on campus and livin at home isnt an option, what should i do?

Answer 1

There's a lot of grants available when you can't qualify for a loan : http://index-go.com/government-grants-income-finance.asp

Good luck !

Answer 2

You did not mention your grade average. If you are a good student, there are millions in unclaimed scholarships every year. Get into the finance office at school, and throw the whole situation out. Academic and sport scholarships are awarded based on talent, not your parents income. Take it from a well meaning older woman, whatever you have to do to continue your education, even if it means working and going to a community college or working two jobs for a semester and jumping back in college part-time the next semester. Get another address established of your own and next year they cannot factor your parents income into your ability to apply for grants. My daughter managed to work, go to college part-time, and take care of a 2 year old with very little help from me. I promise it would be easier without a child to take care of and you will never be sorry.
