Private College Student Loan

Information On How To Acquire Money For A Student?

Okay, so I'm in a serious bind. I am (or was) a student at Midlands Technical College in South Carolina. I signed up for 4 classes during the Spring 2009 Semester, but ending up dropping them and only taking 1 class because of personal reasons. This dropped my student status to Below Part-Time. The school requires that the total tuition, books, and class fees be paid for the semester if you are below part time. I went the entire semester thinking that my financial aid covered this (I'm the first person in my family to attend college so I was unaware of how things were done, I had already missed a semester because we incorrectly filled the FAFSA). It wasn't until after the semester was over that I was told by the college that I owe them $1,438.50. I've already been able to pay a little bit of that because I joined a monthly payment program. It was the only program the college offered and while you're in the program, you may not attend school. Well the bind I'm in was my father (who I live with) is unable to help me out with co-signing a loan to pay off the debt, I can't qualify for any student loans with Wachovia, and at the rate I'm going I won't be able to pay off my debt before the next semester. If this happens I will be taken off my dad's Medical Insurance and not be allowed back on. Does anyone know of any programs, grants, loans, anything that I can apply for that I would be able to pay back over time that can help me get back into school for the next semester so I can continue my education and dream of becoming a CPA?

1. On my end, I dont believe so. Your only option at this point may be to see if you cant find a job somewhere, and get enough to pay that bill off before the end of this semester. Sorry, hopefully others have a better answer, but Ive been in school for several years and cant think of anything that would help in this case.
