Desperately Need Money to Stay in School

knowledgelover1 started this conversation

I'm a female senior in college in great need of financial assistance.  I'm majoring in electrical engineering and currently this is sixth week of classes, and I do not a single textbook for any of my classes.  Unfortunately, my financial aid did not cover the entire cost of attendance this semester, leaving me with a balance of $8000 dollars on my account. 

I cannot ask my extended family for assistance because of their own debt.  I do not live with my parents because they are deceased.  Recently, I have been denied for two loans that I applied for because I have not established credit.  The deadline for my tuition payment is quickly approaching.  I really, really, really need a grant or even a loan immediately.  Please help me find the information that I need the stay in school; I truly want to graduate.  Contact me at collegesuccess2b@hotmail.com with any information and suggestions.  Your generosity is very much appreciated, thank you.

I am a 54 year old female who is currently taking an online class in Business Administration from Ashford University.  I have come to the end of my first class, and am ready to begin the next one.  I need financial assistance in order to continue. 

I want so badly to earn this degree, but my financial situation stands in the way.  I am determined to finish this course, earn my degree, and make something of myself if it's not too late, but I need financial help as soon as possible.  My next class is scheduled to begin on July 5, 2010.

I will keep you in my prayers, if you come across some information, please inform me too.

Thanks,

Annette

Every one needs help now and then.

I've come to ask for help. I am a 30 year old, permanently disabled person. I was on Social Security (SSDI-Social Security Disability Insurance) until the agency stopped my payments. It was only $300 a month, not even enough to live on. The worst part is they stopped my Medicaid too. I know the people at the Social Security Administration are just doing there job. I don't harbor any ill will towards them. I cannot get Welfare because I am disabled.

I will give up my dignity and ask you to donate $1.00 through Paypal.

Please donate $1.00 to the following website:

Thank you and God Bless
