My gf went to trade school and didn't finish due to birth of child. She had a loan thru BoA, federal loans, grants, and one scholarship. The course was for 9months and 10K, she only went for 2mo and the school wants her to pay them 5K, plus she has to pay BoA the 6K education loan. She called the school and asked why she owes them cause they have the money from the grants and scholarship. They told her that they had to send part of it back because she didn't finish so she didn't qualify for the full amount anymore. She wants to go back to school but she doesn't think she will be able to get any loans or grants because of owing the school money. She is making payments to pay off BoA. She doesn't want to start paying the school until she finds out if they can even do that. Any advice would be appreciated about whether they can do that and if she will still be able to get loans to go back. The only good thing is she now knows not to go to trade school...she can go to college and pay less.
