Hi,
I am on EAD status too.As far as I know, You can study on EAD.ANd since you have an H4 , I do not think you need to do anything extra like get an F1 or anything.Since federal loans are not an option, we can only go for private loans.

If you are on EAD, I don't think you can apply for a F1 visa. This is because, the EAD has been issued as an intent to immigrate and an F1 is a non-immigrant visa where you have to prove strong ties to your home country,aswell as your intention to return after graduation. These categories contradict each other.

I guess you will have to give up your EAD/GC application if you wish to go on a F1.

You should consult an immigration attorney,if you absolutely want to go to college on a F1.

One can study with EAD without changing to any other visa category, no need to give up GC application..I am pretty sure
 
Yes if you can study on EAD, just stick with it. Giving up GC/EAD arises only when you want to change to F1.
 
I am pretty sure you cannot change to F1 unless you want to give up your GC process status.As it was said before f1 is non immigrant visa and it directly contradicts the intent of gc.
hope this helps :)
