Financing question

[Nevar]

I wanted to get some advice on my situation.

Background: Went to college and found out at the end of the last year that I attended that I had gotten more money in Fed loans then I was supposed to get as a dependent student the year before. That meant that I couldn't get any aid that year. I left school since the next year I would still be dependent and wouldn't be able to pay for tuition for the upcoming year or my back balance.

Fast forward to today: I am now considered independent and am eligble for more loans but I have to pay off my $10K back balance before I can be enrolled again at my former school. My catch-22 dilemma is that I need to be enrolled so that I can get the money to help pay off what I owe. I'm now in a payment plan with my school to pay off the back balance but it will take me forever to get the $10K. Are there any private loans that I could look at to help in this situation?

Unfortunately there are no private loans for this special type of situation. Is there a family member that can lend it to you?? Or cosign for you??

I wish. I have the best credit in the family.

It's me again. Another question. Do you think it would be better for me to try and break up that $10K balance into like 2 parts and try to find maybe credit union loans or something?
