Why won't financial aid help pay for my study abroad?

Question

I have applied for fin aid (a loan) to pay for a trip to study abroad. The fin aid director will not approve my request and is being a complete jack a$$ about it. I am supposed to have the 3500 dollar cost paid in 2 weeks. He keeps running me in circles and its really stressing me out.

What can I do?

Answer 1

Well, almost everyone has someone they report to.  Go over his head, but can you clarify a little?  It just seems odd he is sitting on an approval just to be mean.  Are you in verification?  Is that the run around you are talking about?

Answer 2

Do you really want to be paying for that luxury trip for the next 10 years?  He/she is doing you a favor.  Trust me.

Answer 3

Financial aid is there to pay for your basic education, not pay for a trip to Europe.  Better start looking for a relative who float you a loan...
