I attended XXXX XXXX University in XXXX, Ohio for my XXXX. During that time I was unable to receive grant money for XXXX costs, so I received a private student loan from Discover Student Loans ( Graduate Loan, for XXXX ) to help with those costs. I am now a XXXX but am attending a non-accredited University that is outside of the United States. 

Since the University is non-accredited I am not eligible for an in-school deferment. My income is a scholarship provided to me from a Federally funded organization here in the country for living expenses only and amounts to only ( after exchange rate ) XXXX USD. My minimum monthly payment for my loan is XXXX dollars, which barely covers the amount of interest I accrue each month, and pays almost nothing on the principal amount of the loan. 

I have discussed my options for repayment with Discover but have received little to no help, as the only option they give me is a reduced payment due to financial hardship, for a total of one year ( I have used six months already ). The reduced payment is XXXX USD ( so not much less ) and does not cover the amount of interest accrued every month on the loan. My income will not change for the next four years ( the length of my XXXX program here ), and I can not work another job while here ( as stated by my student XXXX ) and grant money received for research typically can not be used to pay personal expenses, only those that arise from research. 

My family is impoverished, and lives with a monthly income well below the poverty line of our county in Ohio, so I can not seek help from them. I also have already sold my only equity ( my car ) in order to try and pay off personal debts, and lower credit card payments. So I have no other sorts of income that can pay a large sum of this money.
