My school allows a certain amount of money for loans and if you need any more than that you have to appeal. I qualified for a private loan to be granted additional money just to be told by the financial advisor that even with a private loan, I would have to appeal to be granted this extra money. The ways to appeal are that I can live alone, have medical bills, need car maintenance, etc, but what if I need more money each month just as personal spending money??? After I pay my bills each month I will only have $100 a month as spending money. Are there any ways I can get around having to appeal in order to get more money granted?
