How about any scholarships? I'm sure you can apply for one (fastweb, etc) BUT you won't have that by friday.    Maybe your dad can take out a loan at the bank or some other financial institution. I recommend try calling up your school and see if they can set up a payment plan that is more suitable to your income, because I'm sure they will be very accommodating. i have applied to most every loan online, but they all need the coborrower to have 2 years of posative income verification. my dad said he wont take out a loan anywhere for me cause he says he cant afford it cause he thinks i wont pay it back (but i will, iv never not payed anyone back, and iv even lent money to my mom to pay the bills). the school is allready allowing me to defer my tuittion fees untill i get a loan, but how will i start school with no money for books and such Library! They have course reserve books, granted you would be there quite often but it beats buying up to $500 (or more) dollars in books ... You can always photo copy, or get a job....to photocopy everything you need. I've had friends who've done that and have saved tons of money. morrisonsMYmuse Posted at 6:24 pm on Nov. 28, 2007 a lot of universities have student work programs. talk to your financial aid office. they can give you a short term loan (without a cosigner) and you can work for the university to pay it back. i did that... it was great! silverbullets Posted at 10:54 am on Nov. 28, 2007 Quote: from bmxboy at 1:51 pm on Nov. 28, 2007 get a student loan allready tried that. thats what an astrive loan is charmgirl Posted at 10:54 am on Nov. 28, 2007 have you thought of working part-time in anything? bmxboy Posted at 10:51 am on Nov. 28, 2007 get a student loan silverbullets Posted at 10:47 am on Nov. 28, 2007 Quote: from xren at 1:42 pm on Nov. 28, 2007 You didn't qualify for any Grants or anything from the school?
