my financial aid was just distributed today and I still have an outstanding balance of $2,100 at my college. I was offered a Pell grant of approximately $2,000 and a Direct loan of approximately $5,000, and a PLUS loan of approximately $7,000. I was able to accept the Pell grant and the Direct loan, yet I was not able to accept the PLUS loan, which I assume is because my parent would have to do it, but my mother is not here and my father does not know how to use a computer!!! What do I do??? My balance of $2,100 HAS to be paid off by Aug. 24 or else I can’t get into my dorm and I will have to drop out!!! And this is my senior year so I CANNOT just “drop out”!!! And I just typed a letter asking the school if they could extend my direct loan by $2,100, but I don’t know if I can just send it in or if I actually have to take it to the school, and I don’t even know if they will grant me the extension either, and even if they do grant me it what if it does not go through by Aug. 24??
