Hi Sarah,
We have a page on our site dedicated to listing a bunch of college assistance programs, including loans and grants. Look here for emergency loans and crisis funds for college students, and while your school is not listed, you can get details on what may or may not be offered at some schools.

Dear to whom this concern;
I am a current student at NESOP in Waltham, MA. I live in Bellows Falls, VT, and commute to school. This year the school was able to loan out the remaining balance from financial aid. However, they will only be able to loan out the max $5,000. My remaining balance from financial aid is $13,672 and will need to be paid mid-September in order to continue my final year of school.
I've applied for a loan through VSAC and Sallie Mae. My cosigners have been denied, and it's been a while - I haven't heard back from VSAC. I've tried many members of my family and am reaching out to friends and looking for grants too. I've spoken to my bank regarding a personal loan which is available, but I only work two days of the week... That money each week goes to my rent which is $150 a week. Whatever remaining goes to gas and my phone bill. So, making payments on a bank loan will be difficult considering my current school situation.
Are there any other programs around student grants or better loans that I can reach out to? I hope to continue my school this year and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sarah

we have many options listed, including hardship loans, funds for people with bad credit and more. They can help a college student, low income family, or anyone in need. You can find them here, on our main website and page of no credit loans.

To the Financial Aid Director's office:
My name is Joseph. I am seeking financial aid and/or a student loan grant.
To the Financial Aid Director's office:
My name is Joseph. I am seeking financial aid and/or a student loan grant. I was recently accepted to the Widener University for the fall of 2021. I am writing to respectfully request consideration of appeal for my aid award package.
I am very excited for the opportunity to attend Widener University, Chester PA, USA, and I am grateful for the financial aid package that the University has offered me thus far. However, I am still facing a large financial gap that, in spite of the school's generosity, would make attending impossible for me.
I am an orphan and my aged mother is not a working class. My elderly mother is a petty trader and the only earning member of my family. We are struggling to make ends meets. Consequently, we are suddenly unable to provide the current amount that I incur, and the amount I would have to take out in loans would be too much for my elderly mother and me. This is why I need a student loan grant.
I kindly request that you provide a financial assistance of $400 towards the payment of my enrollment deposit. I can assure you that am a brilliant student and has always secured excellent grades. I am aware about the student recognition program run by your organization that gives financial aid to deserving students. However, in the meantime, I am writing with the hope that you will take these new circumstances into consideration as you review my financial aid package for the coming school year.
Widener University has been my dream school for the last four years. The school is a perfect fit for me academically and socially, and I feel confident that I would contribute to the campus community.
Thank you so much for taking time to read this letter and for considering my request. Please contact me if you would like any additional information.
There is really no such thing as a grant to pay off a student loan. If someone tells you they have one, it is probably a scam. That being said, there are financial aid programs that many colleges offer, or maybe such things as Stafford loans. Or deferment may be a short term option for college students. So the information is on our website, as you indicated. Click here.
To Whom This May Concern:
I am writing in regards to obtaining more information about receiving a grant or other assistance in reference to paying off my student loans. I am currently working full time and a single mother of 3 residing in Alexandria, VA. I browsed through your website and noticed something about Social Services assistance as well as other ways as to helping recent college graduates pay off their loans. Would you all happen to know what exactly I need to do to get started with this process? Thank you.
It is always great to get a degree. Maybe you can look into educational grant programs or scholarships, or short term student loans. Usually the money can be used to pay for expenses such as rent, as well as for your classes and other education expenses. Just think about the fact that all students need money for housing/rent. Anyway, find our listing of education grant and housing programs here, at this resource. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/col ... grant.html

Here is a listing of grants and programs. Some may be for student loans and bills, others from your state government, and some from charities as well. So to answer your question, yes there are numerous programs out there. You definitely need to go your homework and research them though to find a grant that works for you. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... bills.html

My student loans and debts are drowning me. It is a struggle every month to pay them. What can I do. Can I get some of these grants and free money to help pay student loans. Does the government stimulus help with these bills.
