I am taking online classes in which I got a pell grant for.?

Question

I have tried to apply for a student loan in order to get a new computer which I desperatly need but the college won't let it go through because they don't see the need for me to get anymore money because everything is already paid for. What do I do,or what type of loan do I apply for so it will not have to go through the school for approval?

Answer 1

Try appealing to the financial aid office. In certain cases they can grant you additional eligibility, but you'll need to show a good reason for it. However, the school's decision is final, so if they say you have no eligibility remaining then you are out of luck going through. Check with computer stores to see if they offer a 12-month same as cash option (i.e. no interest for 12 months) or some other deal which might be available to you.

Answer 2

it sounds to me like you just want a computer...lol...and no, the loan programs won't supply you with a computer. Why not just borrow one if you need it so badly, or maybe the school has some the students could use (just ask them), or maybe there are some in the school's library.

Answer 3

you need to be waiting to get a pell grant and in case you are able to no longer or they are telling you, you won't be able to then you definately ought to confer with a financial consultant at your college. different strategies may be pupil loans. there is not any rationalization why you shouldnt be waiting to get the help you prefer. stable success!! wish this helps!!

Answer 4

I agree with the others. If your school indicates you have reached your maximum eligibility, you are out of luck. You can, however look into a non-certified alternative loan. Caution!!!! They usually have high interest rates and fees. Stay away from them if you can.
