school, can i get financial aid again? i haven't paid my student loans in about 3 yrs. and have been avoiding the collection calls. i dropped out of college (four year university) 3 yrs ago and have now decided to finish. i've already spoken w/ academic advisors that said that i would be allowed to finish, so now all i need is the financial aid. if i start paying now would i get approved for financial aid by end of this year or 2011? if not what can i do, the tuition fees have gone up (DRAMATICALLY) since i last remember and is impossible for me to pay even on a month to month.
