[nabs-l] financial aid

[Ashley Bramlett]

I see. So your religious beliefs prevent you from using student loans.
Well, then you better hope rehab comes through or you get grants.
This is a personal belief of yours and does not make
loans worth crap, as you put it.

I agree students get in too much debt, but unfortunately, that is the way it 
is now and you can still pay for college this way, even though its unfair. I 
know people who did it.

Anyway, I hope things work out for you.

Well, ... ok, someone made a point that we owe a trillion dollars
in student loan debt, including the federal government loans.
Some religions, such as Islam, prohibit interesft, which loans
accrue.  I know a blind Muslim student or two going to college
who can't do loans, so he has to rely heavily on Rehab to pay for
it.  The only reason I think Rehab's paying for it is because
he's on SSI, holds a Gree Card, is not a citizen of the U.S., and
is/was until recently on refugee status in Somalia.
Thanks.

Uh, Beth, what does that have to do with absolutely anything?

This message regards financial aid.  Wasif, you said FAFSA won't
pay if my GPA is below    2.0.  Well, I have SSI and can't pay
for school even with loans.  Loans aren't worth crap, and
government loans aren't worth crap either.  I say this because
some students, even Muslim students, can't pay the loans back
because interesft is considered Riba, or evil.  You can't borrow
money from banks due to religious reasons, and that's the truth
for some people.
