<p>I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this but my family is having some serious problems and I think I need to start finding a way to pay for Tulane myself and separate from my family. </p>
<p>Thanks to Tulane's tuition policy, I'm going to have to withdraw from the school I am at this semester I'm sure.</p>
<p>However, is there anything that can be done do you think for next semester or do I just have to tell Tulane goodbye?</p>
<p>I don't know what to do, I'm scared and lost and really confused and need some help on this issue.</p>
<p>ballerina: I would suggest that you start with and email or letter to Tulane Financial aid and explain the changed circumstances that have effected your family. My guess is that given the recent events, Tulane will be eager to keep as many of this year's freshmen class together as possible.</p>
<p>Ballerina,
Try re-posting this thread on the regular Parents Forum. There are some regulars on that forum that have awesome financial aid advice...plus you'll probably get some cyber hugs from them!</p>
<p>Ballerina - Yes, please re-post your question on the regular Parents Forum. I'm sure this issue has come up many times before. It's not specific to Tulane or Katrina. Hang in there, and best of luck to you!</p>
<p>ballerina - several folks who have gotten through on the Tulane special call line have reported having very helpful conversations with the staff person who answered. If you have not tried that, I really recommend that, as I agree with concerneddad that Tulane may very well want to help.

<p>I had a friend who had family troubles after he r first year at Tulane. Tulane takes care of it's own whenever possible. She got schoarships and loans and they helped her stay.</p>
<p>ASK the staff at Tulane. They will try to help! You are not alone. Other kids are certianly having the same issue.</p>
