Will my delinquent debt keep me from getting security clearance?

I am currently in the process of interviewing for a job that requires secret security clearance. I am in college, graduating in May, and have student loans and some delinquent debt on credit cards. I am in the process of paying off several of the cards, however there are a few that I just don’t have the money to make payments on right now. I am trying my best to pay off what I can, but it is impossible to make payments on all of them right now while I am still paying for school and unable to work as much as I need to. Will this prevent me from getting security clearance?

    In fact I do not even bother submitting people for clearances if they have delenquent debt.
