I get free tuition but want to quit my job to go back to school. Can I get a loan?
Help. My husband and I both work for a university...I want to quit my job and get a 2-year degree in nursing. I've got a couple weird situations: 1. while I made quite a bit last year on my W-2s that I would report on my FAFSA, I would quit my job and therefore would NOT be making that much next year when I went to school; 2. I would get free tuition because my husband is an employee. I know there is a "Cost of Attendance" certification with federal and private loans, but you fill out the paperwork for free tuition right before you enroll, so...they wouldn't necessarily know that I'm not paying tuition. I don't want to be dishonest. On the other point: I called the federal stafford people, and they say that my school "may or may not" allow me not to enter my W2 information if I quit my job. If they consider my income from last year, there's no way I'd be eligible for anything. I'm just trying to figure out my options. I am in a job I don't like, and I'd like to quit, but there's no way I can afford to go to school without loans for living expenses -- my family relies on my income. Help!

- Have you consider to apply for scholarship instead of student loans? Many people has to struggling to pay the loans back because of the high interest rate. Some friends of mine in college told me that they have valuable information regarding scholarships from this place. Good luck
