I'm currently in school and to be honest I barely paid off this current semester. I've come to the conclusion that I need help and that I need to get loans. The problem is that I don't know where to go to get loans. The banks around here aren't an option. The last bank I talked to said that they wouldn't loan me anything less than 30,000 and for me thats too much. I only need $20,000 if that. My university told me that I don't qualify for financial aid through them so they say they can't help with the loans. They told me that in order to get loans or scholarships or stafford loans through them I'd have to qualify for financial aid, which I don't. I've talked to the school about it and they continue to tell me the same thing. My parents helping me definitely isn't an option. So my question is where do I go besides school and the bank for loans? I looked at sallie Mae online and was hoping to find some help there. I've also looked at the chase website but the problem with them is the same as the banks. Please help.
