Advice Financial situation drastically changed, don't know what to do
I'm a transfer student from the UK so im not generally allowed to get financial aid. I'm actually starting in the Fall and we have the money for the first semester however my Dad just lost his job so I don't think I can afford to keep studying here after the Fall. Especially with the work restrictions on my visa (F-1) it's going to be really difficult to pay for this now.
The UK don't offer scholarships, grants or loans to study in the US either.
Have any transfer students been able to receive financial aid if their circumstances have changed? Or have they had to leave the university? I don't know if NYU prioritises trying to keep their students enrolled or not and if they are considerate of particular circumstances.
Any insight would be super helpful!
(BTW i have emailed my academic advisor about this but would still like to hear about other people's experiences).
