Make a deal with your parent. My Dad has been
SOOOOO helpful in paying for school Sure, I have to pay for the whole thing. I was deep in debt with my Dad and at one point, it reached $7,000. Afterward, I changed my strategy in how I spend my money, got a part time job that pays well and the company I work for (Fedex) actually has a program in place that provide some tutition money for its student employee and a onetime paid co-op helped. Right now? I've been paying for school entirely on my own, including books and the debt is entirely eliminated, in fact, my Dad *owes* me money

It's just a matter of money management as well utilizing your resources (job, scholarship, mum and dad, etc) well enough to get yourself on your feet again.
