| Don't know if this will work for you but it is worth a try.
I am in grad school, so I don't make much money. couple that with the fact that Boston is a rediculously expensive place to live and you can imagine that I don't have much $$ left to live on. I spoke with the fin. aid person at my school and they are willing to consider medical expenses in determining your loan application. I have horrible medical insurance,only $1K prescription coverage/yr, and I paid about $5K out of pocket for scripts, not to mention a surgery and getting a pump. They are going to provide me with additional funds because of this.
So i would recommend going in and speaking with you fin. aid rep and see if they can help you out. |
