Hmm, most people I know that go to college have a job help paying for it. If you all help together its a possibility. Or seek a personal loan at the bank

Can your kid get a scholarship??? That's a good way to pay for college, and you never have to pay it back.

It's most likely possible to do this by using the checks to pay off his credit card balances.\n\nHowever, what kind of responsibility are you teaching your son if you go ahead and take care of his credit card debt for him?  There are many different ways he can get financial aid and loans for school, co-signing on them is an option for you.  If he's that seriously in debt to NOT get the loans, why should you be burdened with it?  Let him make some hard life mistakes, sometimes it's the best way to learn.

Many universities offer funds. Also try scholarship websites.

There are a lot of financial aid programs for low income families.  I get enough financial aid to pay for all of my college expenses.  Talk to a financial aid counselor at a college that your son might want to go to and they can tell you how much financial aid you can recieve.  Also, there are so colleges that will pay all of your tuition in your do workstudy.  I know there are two colleges in Kentucky, Alice Lloyd College and Berea College, that will pay for you to go to school if you do a work study job.

I recommend him checking with the college he teaches with to see if they have a benefit for their children to attend. Some colleges do depending on the number of hours worked, and it is a really good benefit. Also, it should help probably with the FAFSA.ed.gov and other need based financial assistance from the federal government and the college itself. The state also has grants for college students which can be located by searching your state government website. If you are in high school, check the guidance office for its list of local scholarships. I have listed a few other resources. Good luck!

Sallie Mae, the school will handle it. Your son or daughter gets loans, grants, aid, work study in some combination. The loans are like 3 to 5% i think. You only pay them when he or she drops out or graduates.

if you are looking to get money for school..try talking to the financial director at that particular school.  They should be able to help you with any type of federal aid that you qualify for..and at a better rate than you can get from any bank.  Plus you don't have to start paying on it til after you graduate.  But, if you are looking to build up your credit, visit your local loan officer, and try taking out some small loans..like $2000 or so, and make sure you always pay on time!!

Have you looked into grants, like the Pell Grant, that you don't have to pay back? You have to have certain income guidelines. Get a good!counseor at the admissions at the college and they will go to bat for you. There is millions of dollars in untapped grants and scolarships that people don't use, alot from private donors, every year, going to waste. You can start on the internet and get on a reputible site, goggle "money for college", or go to the book store, they have several books on untapped loans, I bought one myself a few years back. Also work study programs at the universities are worth looking into. There is a goldmine out there! Are you the child of a Veteran by chance, that may be a route to go and look into. Good Luck!

He can fill out a form called the FAFSA that will tell him all types of aid (grants, loans, etc) that he is eligible for. You can fill it out online at\nhttp://www.fafsa.ed.gov

No.  It is illegal to do so.\nHowever, the alumni association may have someone give your mom a job.  The college may give you a scholarship that covers tuition, room & board, book, tutors, etc.  A "friend of the school" may loan you a new car until graduation.  etc...\nBut, you can receive NO money.

Every college has a financial aid dept. Your best bet is to go to the college or university of your choice and talk to the financial aid advisor. There are so many ways to get aid. Also look into certificates instead of degrees, they are a fast way to get a good job making good money.

Once your tuition and books are paid for, you should put the rest of the money away, in the bank for future use.  If you are unemployed, this money is what you are supposed to live on until next semester.  Maybe you could repay your mom the money she has paid for your books but you don't want to have to ask her for more money before the semester ends.  As a mom, I would prefer to let you keep the money in your own bank account and allow you to budget yourself so you don't have to ask her for more money when your funds run out.  Maybe she plans to take the money from you now, only to return it to you later when you ask for financial help.  Sounds like you need to communicate with your mom and let her know that you want to be financially responsible for your own money.  If you give her $200, she should be happy and know that she is helping you by helping you to become a responsible adult while attending college.  Good Luck.  Don't forget that someday you will have to repay your financial aid.

If you expect (or want to) receive any financial aid to pay for college, you need to either spend that money or hide it in a (gasp) retirement account. If you don't, FAFSA asks you how much you have saved, and your financial aid package will expect you to spend all of that money.\n\nThe best retirement account to hide it in is a Roth IRA (but you can only contribute to it in the same year that the money is earned, so it might be too late for you). Do some research online into Roth IRA's.\n\nIf you don't expect any financial aid or you don't find a retirement account, you should put the money into an account that earns the most interest. Generally it'll be an online money market or savings account. Currently the best ones are linked below. Make sure you read the terms and understand how to transfer money in and out of these accounts.
