I will hopefully be attending a seminar this Thursday in Austin, TX. I am just curious if anyone has first hand experience with receiving financial aid utilizing this act. I am currently seeking employment yet desperately eager to return to school. I currently am in default status from a previous student loan thus unable to apply through FASFA until the remaining $1500 is paid off. I have to make payments over 6 months as they want to see consistent payments. So paying it off early is not an option. I mention this before I receive answers telling me to go this route. Financially speaking, I should definitely be eligible. Thank you for your info.
