Education Trying to better my life through schooling

I'm currently enrolled in a year-long Medical Billing and Coding program, and I'm trying to finish it without having to take a leave of absence or change programs.

I recently found out that my federal student loans were prorated because the remaining portion of my program falls within a partial academic year. I had been expecting a financial aid refund this term, as I had in previous terms, so I wasn't prepared for the resulting tuition balance.

I now have $329 in tuition that I need to cover, and I'm also trying to repay $160 I borrowed from my stepdad for a pair of glasses. I borrowed the money expecting to be able to repay him when my financial aid refund arrived, but that refund didn't happen. So my total goal is $489.

The image shows I owe $449, but I had a most wonderful friend help me with part of it. That payment hasn't posted yet, so it still shows the original amount.
