<p>I just heard from my parents that family business which they started recently isn't going well and with zero income and savings almost used up, they won't be able to pay for my next year Penn tuition. Now the thing is I'm an international student and technically it's near impossible to apply and get FA at this point. My mom told me in tears that I probably will have to quit school. Anyone got any ideas as to what scholarships/loans/grants/financial aid/sponsorship I could apply for at this point? I'm a rising sophomore.</p>
<p>Talk to people at Penn.</p>
<p>I am in the process of doing that…scheduling all these meetings at the moment. Any sort of help/advice counts, though.</p>
<p>have you considered student loans? not saying its a great idea, but might be better than the alternative.</p>
<p>Apply for scholarships and appeal as much as you can. Good luck!!</p>
