So, I checked my FAFSA status online, and I've received a couple of grants. Now that's all it says, nothing about work study or loans, will this be something that will be offered to me as the school year approaches (I've e-mailed the financial aid office about this but haven't heard a response).

I also havent officially received a letter from my school either.

MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION: I have very very minimal credit, and my father has very very poooor credit, how hard will it be for me to get student loans without a co-signer? I need to come up with 10,000 somehow =[

Well it is going to be really hard. What you need to do is what i am going to do. Get a hp laptop online you make $21.00 payments every month and it will help with that.

I have a store credit card from where I work and always am good with that.

Now where exactly will you be getting your laptop from? Should I go from the hp website or somewhere like Best Buy? Also, isn't there some sort of approval/credit process to even be able to do a payment plan?

There's an hp credit application in order to do that. I dont want to risk not getting approved because it does lower your credit score a little every time you apply for something. I guess I'll just talk to a financial adviser about all of this. :(

thank you for your response

you're not guaranteed work study or loans.... but if you don't get it through fafsa just apply for work study yourself at school.
