Affiliate Marketing Secrets

ok, before everybody states the obvious here, i am recieving stafford loans and a pell grant with a VERY small FSEOG (100 dollar per disbursment.). I am attending American Intercontinental University Online.
sadly this school does not participate in PERKINS and since i am a colorado resident and they are based in IL, i dont qualify for any state aid (still trying to wrap my head around that one. i think they may be hiding something.).
they sent me a list of scholarship websites and i looked into them and i have one thing to say….YA RIGHT! i’m sorry but half of those things look like nothing but clickbank affiliated websites that promise for a chance to enter if you give them your info and a short essay but really what they want is as many clicks on certain buttons for 2-3 cents a click making them money.
does anyone have ANY advice? i have horrible credit from medical bills, no credit cards even if i could get one and about 4 months of back rent and utilities that have already eaten up 3 of my federal disbursements and every single one of my paychecks. please help,my landlord is threatening to boot me by the end of next month if i cant pay him off in full!

Here’s my situation…
I am taking courses at a community college for an RN program with an affiliated school of nursing
I have one more semester of regular classes before I can start my clinical/nursing courses…
Until now I have received a full pell grant due to my parents lack of income. But now I file as independent, and I only qualify for $450 per semester. I want to pay this last semester out of pocket and save taking out loans for once I get to the Nursing school it’s self.
I currently have 3 loans from a previous school out threw sallie mae for around $6500 all together and I am making the minimum monthly payments. I don’t want to stop paying them as I want to pay them off as soon as possible but I also want to save money….
sooo do you think I should apply for in school deferment and just pay the interest or just I just keep it as it is….
would I technically save money in the long run if I apply for deferment and make payments anyway or does it even matter>
any advice helps thanks!

i’m getting my masters at a prestigious university (top 20 according to those bullshit us news and reviews rankings). the 3 semesters of courses + thesis degree is through the medical school and requires my thesis to be done in a foreign country. we had two options: do a semester abroad through the school (do classes at abroad university and complete thesis with the abroad institution- it’s affiliated with out school for a joint program) or take all the classes here, and go abroad just for the thesis.
my issue is this. i chose the university because i liked the all inclusive semester abroad program. i applied for the semester abroad the moment the window opened- i was super excited and had my advisor review my application before submitting. months to go by- no acceptance, while my peers have been accepted. it turns out they lost my application (i was the FIRST person to submit it) and i was denied the opportunity because i was asked to resubmit, months after the deadline when the program was closed. after rearranging my schedule because the second semester is about to start, i find out i am denied entry into the program because of “grades”… bullshit. i passed all my classes, while not stellar, with B+s. my concentration leader lost my application and i feel like she’s trying to cover up for it. i filed a complaint with my advisor and found out my complaint was bounced around the department, and got back to the woman (the head of department) who lost my application in the first place. today, i was just denied the travel grant to do my thesis abroad (after having THIS application reviewed and okayed by my advisor too). the head of department approves the grants, and she denied me after i started an informal departmental investigation into the matter of losing my semester abroad application. she’s also my professor in one of my classes, and she is trying to fail me.
i know this sounds like “she’s out to get me!”, but the other students have noticed it too, and seeing as how they all got the travel grant, and didn’t have any applications lost, and don’t seem to be getting unfair treatment, i feel like something really is wrong with this picture. this masters is costing me $70,000+… i had opportunities to go to different schools that offered me scholarships and i regret this so much, i want to cry. i’m on the verge of breaking down, and don’t know what to do. has anyone been in a situation like this? since when did grad school become so personal? you would think for tuition like this, the professors would do everything in their ability to help their students 🙁
