I really want to finish my studies but I do really have a very big problem-financially. I just want to know if how I can continue my studies? It's so hard in my part to resolve this problem because I don't have a parent that would help me.

When I was in college I was actually forced to drop out of school before I got my degree because of financial issues in my family and I regret that more than any other decision that I've made in my life. That said, I would try to figure out a way to do whatever you can so that you are able to finish your studies. This could be dropping down to being a part time student and working full time or something like that. Also, make sure that you are getting financial aid to the most of your ability.

I know that it's really tough finishing studies if there is no financial support from your parents, which you says you don't have anymore. I guess you need to tr y to work while studying or try to get a scholarship program. I have graduated in College (4 year course) without asking my parents to pay for my tuition fee. It is through School Scholarship program. Nothing is impossible if you really want some thing to happen.

Is there a chance that you could take up on a job while studying? That would be the best option. Also, maybe, some student loan... I wouldn't necessarily tell you to stop your studies, because that would make you get better jobs later.

Sad to hear that you don't have parents. As you mentioned you are interested in continuing your studies, where there is a will, there is a way. You can continue your studies using bank loan. Lot of banks are giving loans to deserved students. Apply for a bank loan and continue your studies. All the best.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having financial problems with your studies now. But yes, y must continue and finish it. I used t have classmates who are sending themselves to school even though they don't have their parents to support them. Why not see about scholarships or grants, who knows you might qualify? Then you might want to look into some part time jobs either within the campus or your local shops. Just for your everyday allowances or expenses.

Please, please continues your study no matter what. Find help and I believe there will be someone or some corporation that will lend help to you. Maybe different person or organisation will contribute certain amount, and collectively it will be enough. Do not stop studying, keep the momentum go. I truly REGRET for not continuing my study. I tell you I really regret for not putting effort to find support financially to further my studies. I sincerely believe I will be better off now if I have gone to my local university and pursue a well recognised degree and find a good career!

Solving problems on your own is really hard, what more if you have no one to ask from.As you have said you have no parents to turn to and you want to finished your schooling. I agree with you that having a degree is an advantage especially in looking for work. Looking for job is the best I can advise you. There are many students who work their way through college. I hope you could find a job to support your dreams.

If you are really interested in continuing your studies, you may do so. I know it must have been hard for you as you mentioned that your parents are not there to support you. But you can always apply for part time courses in University. That way, you will have time to get some part time job and support your studies. Of course you can also try to make a loan with the government if they do offer such loans.

You can part time job for student, I think you can find it somewhere in your city. Have you tried looking for scholarship? I think there always scholarship for student like you at school, Don't ever leave your study you have to survive even in hard time. Talk to your family, friend or to your counselor about your problem, they may can help you. Goodluck dear, I hope the best for you

I think you need to stop for the mean time and said to say look for a job and earn until such time that you can be able to support yourself with regards to your studies. I know it was very painful thing to do but I think it is only your choice. Do not rely to other people because you might regret in the end. Just do what you can.I feel so sorry for your situation.

I understand how hard that is to not have enought money for study, but please do not give up. do not leave your study at all. sometimes in the life, we suffer so much but if you continue and be more patinte then, you will live happily and will taste the sweetness of your patience one day. please do not leave your study, in case of not solving that, you can give some gap in it but do not stop it.. ask God to help you and show you way , solution will come to you in light ways. believe me, you can, because you want. so you are able to remove all limitation. just have faith and be strong.

try your best to continue your study... you can look for a part time job even the lowest position that you can get. the most important is you don't stop schooling. if you do you will miss a chance a getting a better life in the future.

Never give up your studies for anything.Try finding some part-time ob. It might be helpful and apply for any scholarships which would support you financially. So sad to hear this but just remember..Its ok if you struggle in completing your studies but these studies would give you a place for yourself in the society which you are gonna live. Future will be yours.

If there is a will, there is a way. You like to finish your studies? Then do something to achieve this goal. Even if you have no parents to help you you can always work and study at the same time. I know many people who graduated on their own. Working students are many so if others can, why can't you?

i hope you can find a way to continue your studies.. why not try to be a working student.. i know it is difficult to work and study at the same time but if you have a lot of determination you can succeed.. i knew a lot of persons who work at day and studies at night.. try to inquire at your school about being a student assistant you can also earn some money there.. or maybe you can also apply for a scholarship..

It is best for you to continue your studies because it is a treasure that no one can ever get it from you by doing so find some work while you're studying just a part time. I have a friend who is a working student jut to finish his studies he works every time he has a vacant schedule. Now he is in the last year of college he still pursuing his dream though financially unstable he is but he can graduate. Just strive for your dream and you will commit it.

I am so sorry to hear that. Yes, financial often big problem in study. I think you can talk to your college to ask some advice for your problem. As far as I know, each college has some policies to solve financial problem of its student. Try to talk your problem, you do not know before you try. Keep your spirit to finish your study, and don't you lament you have not a parent, it just make your problem bigger. Stand up, there are many people in the world that have bigger problem than you. Good Luck...!
