Okay, its hard to provide all of the details for my situation, but I’ll try to explain it as clearly as I can:

After all of my financial aid is through, there is about a 7k dollar gap left behind for me to go to the school I want to go to.
I can contribute about 2k and so can my bro. My father claims that he will contribute “what he can” but flat out REFUSES to take out any sort of plus loan, even for as little as a couple thousand. If he doesnt qualify for a plus loan, then i can get 4K added on to stafford, helping to close the gap, but if he does qualify, and refuses to take the plus loan, then I’m about 3k short of where I need to be and forced to go to a state school.
Not to mention the fact that I’m ruled out of (to my knowlege) any sort of private loan, because my father doesnt make a lot of money, has no assets, and a horrible credit rating, and I need a co-borrower who is a guardian.

If anybody could PLEASE let me know of any other source of financial aid that I might qualify for, let me know
