Question
hello, when i had attended college i had received the perkin's loan. my plan was to finish college but i was only able to complete one year. since then i've had a child. i really want to go back to college but am behind on paying back the loan. if i try to go back to school is there anyway the payments back will be cancelled and maybe i can start getting help with loans once again???

Answer
Hi Priscilla,

I don't know much about loans.  I am more of a financial aid consultant in terms of getting aid to start with.  You may actually qualify for grants depending on your income.  

You should go talk to a financial aid personal at a four year school and see if they can help you.  Also you can download the FASFA form and see if it asks if you are behind on loans.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
