Does anyone know of a legit emergency loan or grant for students with bad credit and NO co-signer (besides payday loans)????
I dropped a class and my school surprised me with blocking next semesters enrollment because they want 6 back from the Pell Grant (even though I took out 5000 in loans to pay the rest). I adjusted my financial aid to show that I’m broke, but the school is taking 12 weeks to get me more money… long after I’m screwed and it’s gone to collections with them. I just moved to LA and there are no jobs, or gigs, or anything, I’m pretty much done for with school.

Please don’t answer with obvious statements like "get a job","go talk to someone at your school", "ask your dead parents or a co-signer", "get a credit card" because the obvious answers I’ve already been through for months now.

I have found several shady looking websites promising to send me PDF files but I can’t find a legit solutions manual or teacher’s edition. The student solution’s manuals only have selected problems. Our book is Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway and Beichner (5th edition). Any suggestions?
