Curo2012

Hello my name is Curtis Roach and I am in my forties and a single parent of five children. I just reccently was told that I am no longer qualify for financial aid or pell grants. This was very disappointing to me as this is my final year of online education at Ashford University. I am a History major with a minor in Sports and Business Management. I have a 3.74 GPA and have made the Dean's List the last five semesters so this type of news was very hard to swallow. I never even knew that you could run out of financial aid because you are never told these things by the government or even the school that this can happen. There should be some type of way for students to know this so that students can be prepared to use other options or alternatives. Now I have to come up with at least $10,000 dollars to complete my education.
So if anyone knows of lenders, scholorships, or other forms of financial aid please feel free to drop me a line because as it will be greatly appreciated. I even tried Sallie Mae to see if they would help me but I was denied because I guess my credit ws not good enough. Please my fellow students and teachers I need your help!!!Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hey Curtis,
I may get heat from some people for even suggesting this, but the LAST option can be private student loans. Since you need $10,000 the monthly payment for the next 15 years (I think) would be about $200 a month (I think). I had to take out one because push came to shove. You can check Next Student for private student loan providers. REMEMBER: These loans CANNOT be forgiven under any condition, even in Bankruptcy...so if you do take one out, just know that it will need to get paid off come he** or high water... or the government will garnish your wage. GOOD LUCK with your education!
