I could really use some advice on how to pay for school.
I've applied to a public state university for the fall. I've done FAFSA, and I've looked into grants and scholarships. If I got approved to receive federal student loans, that would cover right at about $45k of my undergrad. However, that leaves a remaining $100k (approximate), and my intentions would be to go to medical school after I get my B.S. in psychology.
We have been struggling financially since about 2017, when my mental health started to deteriorate. I still struggle, and don't currently have a job. We were forced to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Sept. 2018 to avoid losing our home (we would've had nowhere to go). I'm having a lot of trouble finding someone willing to help me with student loans because of my financial history.
A cosigner is absolutely not an option. I have no friends, family or coworkers that would cosign (or that would have the ability to, given their own financial situations).
Do any of you have any advice? Honestly I'm starting to lose hope on becoming a psychiatrist, or even getting a Bachelor's degree.
