I got into DeVry University for the Game Simulation and Programming BS.  I attended for three years, part time and when the courses started to get more difficult for me, I thought it would be best to choose a simular, but less math heavy major.  I thought perhaps the Art Institue's Game Art & Design program would be the way to go.  When I spoke to the finiancial advisor there, she explained to me that I'm at my agragate limit with my FASFA/subsudized/unsubsidized loan (15k left).   When I first got into DeVry, I didn't sit down with anyone, most of it was explained to me over the phone, and like a dork, I didn't do my research proir to getting in.  Now, here I am with three years (part time) of school behind me, I can't finish Any degree because I don't have the finances to cover it. 

I've applied for many scholarships for the past two years (while attending DeVry because I wanted to take more classes) with no luck (one scholarship required my HS counselor's and HS teacher's signatures - I think one retired and the other one died a few years ago).  I've looked into grants -  which I don't qualify for because: I'm not married, no kids, I make to much (29k a year), I'm not black, native american, or my credit score isn't high enough, oh and i'm 37 years old.  I've asked my parents for a co-signed loan, which they refuse to do.  I've looked into using what I have left to go to community college, which they won't accept DeVry credits and will only give me an AA degree, and even if I get that there's no chance of getting a job because I've spent the last 8 years in the Behavioral Health field.  

So, here I am with three years of nothing and nothing to pay for finishing school. I'd be the first sibling in my family to have a degree, but more importantly I'd be doing more than working low end jobs.  

I need suggestions.  Any kind of thing I can do to get the $40k I need to finish school.  I have 6 months to figure this out before my FASFA loans kick in for repayment.  So, any help on this would be greatly appriciated.

Personally, I would take the AA & see if the $15k would go further at a state school.  You could take online classes through them.  I know that devry & the rest of the online schools sound less impressive in an interview as well.  

I am in the same boat except now laid off with unemployment & can't get anything for the exact same issues.  I have NO idea how I'm going to pay for school much less anything else AND I am switching to a completely different major next semester.  Well, if I can go.

Good luck!!!
