@thumper1 They had offered me about 2K more in Direct Loan money the first time they prepared my financial aid package, but then for some reason they took that away. I’d still have a balance of about 10K even if they decided to offer that again, I’m really not sure how to come up with that money though without some type of installment plan being offered; 5 payments of 2K would be doable for us, but not the whole amount at once. The financial aid office even told me this is my last semester of financial aid eligibility (I was only two classes shy of my degree and assumed the fast-paced summer semester would be better than coming back in the fall when I’ll actually be 24), so I really thought they would help me out.
