Financial Aid/Paying off student loans.
Mon, 02/09/2015 - 19:33I'm a recent college graduate (undergrad) and I've been living with epilepsy for 6 years. Just like thousands upon thousands of students I had to take out a loan in order to afford college, but I have been unemployed since graduation. I have not been able to drive for almost 9 months which makes getting around extremely difficult.
Along with trying several different medications my doctors have mapped out a plan for brain surgery.
I wish to pursue my MA, but it's not possible due to the fact that I'm so far in debt and I'm trying to find a way to pay off my loans in order to further my education.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
