Student Loans / financial aid -?

So my mom hasn't done the FAFSA form, and she says because she 'cannot' get the taxes from last year (or she didn't do them). However, I am dependent on her, and she has told me that I cannot get a student loan for next semester. Since she cannot find / didn't file her taxes, my FAFSA is incomplete. I still need to pay for this semester's tuition, but don't have the money, and next semester is already upcoming.

So from my view, I only have two options; Ask long distant relatives to borrow money, Private bank loans, or drop out of college next semester and work.

Are there any other alternatives? I really appreciate any suggestions and help! %26gt;.%26lt;

As a financial counselor (and someone who works at a financial aid office in a university), I would recommend staying away from loans. They will not be a blessing to you.

As far as your options, go to the financial aid office and talk to a FA counselor. Tell him or her your situation and see if there is a possibility for a %26quot;Professional Judgment.%26quot; Sometimes a PJ that is approved can open up doors otherwise locked.

There are two sources for student loans -- the federal government and private lenders. In order to obtain most federal student loans, you will first need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In most%26lt;!--instances the FAFSA is required for all federal financial aid including federal student loans. Deferment options are available while you are still attending school at least half-time. There are four main federal loan programs.

Federal loan consolidation is for students who are in repayment status or parents who wish to extend the repayment period on their current PLUS and obtain a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan--%26gt;you can combine all of your eligible federal student loans into one loan with a Federal Consolidation Loan. Consolidating also locks the interest rate you pay on your loan.

I am sorry to hear that. I wish FAFSA didn't rely on parental income.

Here is a blog you can read over that might give you some good places you can apply for a loan.

I hope it helps,
