If you could find a willing USC to co-sign, you could get a loan with discover. Just to note, their interest rates are really high....
also you could search this forum for more information, I know many in this forums who had gotten school loans.

I paid my first year of undergraduate (my parent's company paid for it actually)
Then, for the last 3 years for undergraduate I used the California Dream Act and got through without paying any $$ (besides living costs)

Now, I'm in grad school and the school is paying for my education via grants.

I've heard of private loans such as those that are strictly focused on DACA applicants.

Wow, its things like this that makes me wish I was a CA resident.
I am certainly intending to move to CA one day, probably for grad school.

You should come over!

For grad school, it shouldn't matter where you go (state wise)
It's the professor's research funding that pays for your education, so it doesn't really matter.
(I am not getting any additional funding from the California Dream Act for my graduate school)

For undergraduate, yeah - the California Dream Act helped me quite a bit.

Damn, your funding college from credit cards!!
That sounds really scary... how far are you from getting a degree?
