I had the federal loans and a citi-assist loan but my school is telling me that I maxed out on the amount of loans I can get (the full cost of attendance). What can I do? I see there are private student loan option but some say maximum is total cost of attendance... this means I am ineligible? what are my options? By Posted on 07/23/09 Total Answers 2 Answers- No, it means all you can get is the total cost of tuition & books. Call a few of those companies & ask. Also, since you're in last year, ask mom, dad, aunt, whoever you can for a personal loan. Also, get a job. Waiting tables can be really good $$ for minimum hours put in. Dinner or cocktail only. There's no money in breakfast or lunch. Try this site http://free-college-information-usa.blogspot.com/ Free College information on financial aid for students, scholarship, student loans and more.

I know its tough but you gotta do what you gotta do. I recommend finding a job with short hours, like 15 hours a week and pays alot for what its worth. ie...be a server at a restaurant, the tips help out so much when you are a starving student... i have kids too and i have a part-time job and i am in grad school so it is definately possible to juggle work and school. You just need to exert yourself a little bit more... Answer by : Ernie J On Date 2009-07-23 15:23:04   Go Back To Search Results
