One of the requirements to collect unemployment insurance is that you lost your employment through no fault of your own. Here it appears that if you quit, you may not qualify for unemployment insurance. You may wish to look at your state's specific unemployment insurance/benefit requirements and see if going to school full time will allow you to get some sort of grant or benefit. You need to understand that unemployment is built for those who have been laid off or fired without fault. For school, you may wish to look at scholarship and grant options available to you.
