Financial Aid Discrepancy Resolution

Summary

If a school initially promises financial aid but later retracts it, students should review the schools policies and consult with financial aid officers for alternatives. Legal advice may be necessary if the school has breached contractual obligations. In cases involving deceased individuals bank accounts, banks typically freeze accounts upon notification of death, and funds are distributed through probate according to the will or state law.

My school told me I had financial aid therefore my tuition was covered. Later in the semester the president of the school tells me there was an error and I have no financial aid, but since it was their error I can make payments after I graduate when I get a job. Two semesters before I graduate the president says her higher ups do not agree and I have to pay full tuition they offer me a loan but co-signer can’t be from dc where my parents are from which would make the best co-signers I cannot apply to any other loans because school is not on approved list what can I do? School is located in largo, md
