Hi, I'm a first year student at George Mason University. I am actually the first in my entire family, included cousins, aunts and uncles, to ever reach such a feat. Unfortunately, only after a semester, I can no longer continue. I have an outstanding amount of money due for this semester which Is impossible for me or any of my family to pay off. My EFC is 0 and I've been awarded several subsidized loans, grants and financial aid, but it only was able to cover a portion of my cost of attendance. Financial Aid would have covered my entire cost of attendance, as I commute every day to school, but for some reason there was a complication with my residency. Although I have lived in Virginia my entire life, they are charging me out of state tuition. I'm currently fixing the domicile issue but unfortunately, there is no way I can resolve the charges made to me from this semester. I've tried applying for several private loans but I am constantly rejected. I've used several cosigners in my family as well, but I still can not get approved. What can I do now? Is there anything to do? It really depresses me that I can't continue going to college because I worked so hard to get here.
