It depends upon what you had previously agreed to, such as in any contracts or other documents you signed when you accepted admission to the school. If you had agreed to pay a certain amount or for certain classes, you could be held to that agreement even if you were forced to discontinue attending due to a lack of funding. That's because your inability to pay for school means that you would have breached (violated) any agreement to pay for schooling; your own breach, however, does not let you out of your contractual obligations. It's like with leasing or renting an apartment: if someone signs a one-year lease, he or she is obligated to pay rent for a full year; if he or she runs out of money after two months and can't keep paying, he or she could be kicked out (evicted)--but would still be liable for the rent due for the full remainder of the year. Therefore, you need to review all the documents you signed with this school, to see what you obligated yourself to pay.
