I need $1700 for Spring Quarter which begins in the middle of May. I'm seeking this education for personal not professional reasons so I don't want to take out a loan because I may never be able to work again to pay it back.

I asked the financial aid officer at the university if he knew of any financial assistance I could get for being disabled but he really couldn't give me any help. So, I thought I would ask here.

Guess I'll keep searching
Check with your local Social Service Department. If anyone would know it would be them. They should have a list of what is available as far as educational grants, scholarships, etc. for the disabled that your state has to offer. They may have something on the Federal level too.

Suprised your college does not have a Work Study program!
