K.. here's my problem.... my tuition this semester is $8606.50... my financial aid is only cover $7069.00 of it.. so that leaves me with $1537.50 to pay out of pocket.

I am an independent student and I have horrible credit. I have tried to apply for alternative loans but I have been denied those too.

We moved across the country so that I could attend school in VA.. but I did not count on this happening. Before the move everything was covered as far as financial aid was concerned.... but then that changed. Now I am stuck with $1537.50 of debt that I cannot pay.

I just don't know what to do now and thought I'd ask for advice or see what you all might have to say?

My school does offer a payment plan where I can pay so much every other month but to start that I have to be able to pay 1/4 of the amount with the application and the application is due by next Friday... my other problem is I don't even have the $400 to give them now. I am just very unhappy about this, I've already spent so much on my books and have been diligently attending classes.. but it's going to tear me up if I have to drop out this semester because of $1500 dollars. Why can't I just be rich or something?
