MarketplaceMoney For College With Bad Credit I am a student in charge of a millionaire father and a bad credit. How do I get money for college? I can not get government assistance because I am not considered in financial difficulty due to income from my father and I am not yet 24 to be considered independent. I can not make him co-sign a loan to go to school I want to go to because he has nothing to do with the profession he is in. My FICO is higher would be no question, because I have no work history of two years is that my father gave all my expenses to date. Could there be a pool of qualified signatures are looking for candidates like me? "I feel your pain." I never understood how the government could assume that relatives of people were willing to contribute financially to their education. It's almost as if the person is penalized for their parents to be crowned success. I know guys whose fathers were tramps and because of this they received a free education (none of them finished, but the part they have tried has been fully paid with taxpayers' money) File a FAFSA Join AmeriCorps. They give money for education. You're lucky you have a family income to support you once they see that nobody is going to give you any financial assistance. ask dad There are some things you need to understand here. 1) financial aid funds are limited - there is no large reservoir overflow of dollars available to fund all those over ed. 2) If you are a dependent student (under age 24, claimed on income tax somebody else, depend on someone else for all costs per day - "my father gave all my expenses to date), the income of your father will be considered part of your resources. 3) Students and families who have resources available (whether or not to use them), are expected to contribute to their own education . It's just the way life goes. Move out of your father's house, finding a job, living alone for a few years, and request a loan if you are independent. Try talking to your father on your goals. Or find a job and pay as you go to a school you can afford. Posted on January 14, 2010.
