Our family's financial state has gone worse. Till now my parents paid my tuition fees, but unfortunately I'm not able to pay the tuition fees for future study years.
I can take a loan, but it's with riba, so I can't take it...
Any suggestions?

I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.

Try to lists down all the islamic loans or scholarship you can get. Make a few lists so that you can have other options.
Please try your best.
Take care

You know I find it saddening that there's so many rich Muslims' and they haven't set up some kind of system for the Muslims to take them away from Riba when it comes to education or buying a house. It makes me angry.

From what I know, wealthy Muslim men don't like to set up organisations to help Muslims' for the most part, instead they like to buy football clubs like Manchester City, and buy expensive football players, or pay famous singers like Alicia keys or Beyonce for a private performance.

I never took out a loan and my parents wouldn't help with tuition.
I had various jobs (sometimes 3 at a time). I lived very poor. Food was a teasured commodity. Sometimes, I couldn't afford to take a full load of courses. I'd just pay for as many classes as I could.
Often, I'd be in class from 7:30 am-3:00 pm, then I'd work in a warehouse from 4 pm-1 am. It was hard. I did all my undergraduate work in biochemistry. It took me 5 1/2 years, but when you WANT something and God is leading you down that path, you'll find you can do it all with love in your heart.
Surrender, and the Infinite will pull you along like a river's current.
I know I am a better person for having done it...and having done it the hard way,

I have a lot of respect for you. I'm sure you value everything more after that.
No question about it, Beardo. I am not a wealthy man, but I feel as if I am.
It gave me incredible confidence in all I do. It allowed me to surrender to God's will and recognize his immense strength (always sharing just enough of it to get me through).
That was 20 years ago, but it still has made me a big part of who/what I am today.
True story: I survived for 8 days eating popcorn and vitamins. I knew I was famished when I saw a cat run down this alley behind where I was staying and my stomach growled. I lost 77 pounds during college. (Found most of it back since, unfortunately)
In short, Asiya3: God/Allah has you in his sights, but The Infinite also gave you opposable thumbs and a large frontal lobe. Use them both and you'll find a way.
