Can you get financial aid for both tuition AND student housing?

Yes.  The maximum amount of Financial Aid that you can receive is based on your "Cost of Attendance," which is determined by the Financial Aid Office .  Schools are allowed to include the following items in your COA:\n\n* tuition & fees\n* room & board (on- or off-campus)\n* a "reasonable amount" for books, supplies (in some cases, a computer), transportation, miscellaneous expenses\n* dependent care\n* study abroad expenses\n* loan fees\n* employment expenses for co-op study\n\nPretty much, you can get financial aid up to the amount of your COA.

Yes, everyone above me is right that it's the 2006-2007 FAFSA that you want.  However, the deadlines vary greatly by school -- it's definitely not May 1st for everyone.  Check on your school's website or call their Financial Aid Office to find out what their deadline is.  Pay attention, also, to any deadlines that your state imposes for eligibility for their funding (many states offer grants, scholarships, low-interest loans, etc. to their residents).  You can find these deadlines here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/before003a.htm#state_deadlines

They won't double your money if that is what you are asking. They will pay the maximum they usually pay for one school, but you're on your own for the other one.

All campuses should offer summer housing, although it will cost you money, you can avoid that by taking summer classes;filling out for financial aid for the summer might help with that expense. And you can also ask around on campus for odd jobs paid by left over bonus money that just collecting dust with a certain department(biology, history, etc)

depends.  \n\nfill out the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. and submit to the schools you are looking at.  Depending on what funds they have available, what you are eligible for will determine the package you get.  People usually are eligible for more than they think!

Tuition covers just the cost of going to class. Nothing else, like a meal plan or books. Room and board just covers whereever you will be living on campus. It could also possibly cover all maintence fees, cleaning fees, or a deposit. Check with the college to find out exactly.

yes you can. you just have to make sure that you can show the equity and the fact that you can make the payments on both of the loans.

I would ask the admissions office directly.\n\nOn the other hand, be aware that most quality schools require freshmen to live on campus. There are several reasons for this: studies show that freshmen living on campus are much more academically and socially successful, as well as much more likely to stay at the school and to finish in a reasonable time. Furthermore, part of the quality of a quality collegiate education is that it's residential--most of the learning goes on outside the classroom, and having freshmen live on campus strengthens that. Finally, many colleges and universities depend on the revenue generated by dorms. Tuition revenue is "funny money" in a lot of cases--tuition, like a car price, is often arbitrary and varies wildly from student to student. Room and board, though, must be paid by everyone in cash.  So it's likely you'll be required to live on campus. Don't worry, though: it's a real benefit.

Yes, many schools have married student housing. I lived in married student housing while I went to school. One of you needs to be a full time student. Check with your University housing office for specifics.

There are waivers or grants that can help with or completely pay some admission fees. Check out options with the financial aid office at each school and it's time to submit the FAFSA! If you are a non-traditional student or low income you should have help available. Good Luck to you and Congratulations in taking the first step to higher learning!

No. Your best bet is your employer giving you tuition reimbursement. You could ask the local banks around your area. But I doubt it.

It is through FAFSA. It is pretty easy to apply, and they'll explain everything in painstaking detail. Financial aid will generally cover tuition first, then books and then based on your need, it'll also cover some living expenses. You also need to educate yourself on the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans!!! VERY IMPORTANT.  Good luck to ya.

You might be able to get a scholarship from the college you want to attend and maybe a part-time job for spending money. Contact the admissions offices of the schools you want to attend and ask them. Good luck.

No, but I administer Financial Aid at one.  Just because a college is private does NOT mean that it will have one cent to give to its students.  And just because a school is public doesn't mean that their endowment isn't huge.  The two simply aren't related.\n\nAs far as federal funding... In theory, you are eligible to recieve financial aid up to the cost of your education, so you *could* get more financial aid at your $40,000/year school than at a $20,000/year school.  However, there are limits to the amount of federal grant aid that any student can receive, and most of the time those grants don't come close to the cost of a $10,000/year school (Pell grants are capped at $4,050 and SEOG is capped at $4,000).  So, when someone says that you could get more money at a more expensive school, what they usually mean is either loans (which aren't ideal) or institutional funding (which is entirely at the schools discretion and may not even exist).

If what you're looking for is information about how much you would be eligible to receive or how much a school would offer  you, there's no substitute for contacting the school's Financial Aid office directly.\n\nYou can find a little bit about them in general at http://studentaid.ed.gov/  I've pasted in the basics of that information below.\n\n-----\n\n"Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are for undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Pell Grant recipients with the lowest EFCs will be the first to get FSEOGs. Just like Pell Grants, FSEOGs don't have to be paid back.\n\n"You can receive between $100 and $4,000 a year, depending on when you apply, your financial need, the funding at the school you're attending, and the policies of the financial aid office at your school.\n\n"If you're eligible, your school will credit your account, pay you directly (usually by check), or combine these methods. Your school must pay you at least once per term (semester, trimester, or quarter). Schools that do not use semesters, trimesters, or quarters must disburse funds at least twice per academic year."
