Basically you have to be able to obtain it legally, meaning your either a citizen or have a school visa, and you can't have defaulted on any past financial aid grants. That does not mean you have to have good credit. You can get  aid even with horrible credit as loan as the loans in question are not previous financial aid bills. As for how long it will cover. You don't have to start paying on those bills till you have reached below full time student for 6 months or more. You can apply every year you are in school. ( I know college professors that are still applying for grants today and some of them have been in school for 20 years. Unfortunately they will never be able to pay all those bills, but its the only way to keep up on our ever changing subject needs)

Your best bet is to ask the school you will be attending.  I don't know of many people who have financial aid for living expenses.   I think your best bet is to take out some loans to help cover what you need.

If you get a score over 30, usually you will get some thoudsands a year from you state goverment to support for your education.  For scholarship, it belongs to many factors including your ACT, GPA, and what school you apply to.  With this score + G.P.A  over 3.5, you may get full tuition for 4 years in some good universities.  You can apply to top universities, but I don't know if you can get full tuition because almost (if not 100%), their students got scores over 30.

Yes and  no.  If you have completed high school and are under age 25, then that limits you in a sense as you will have to provide your parents' income information on your financial aid application.  If you are 25 or older, then eligibility is based on your income alone.  But that's about it in terms of general limits.  You'll need to check with the financial aid office at the college/university you want to attend to find out if there are any variations for your state/country.

yes - FAFSA and fastweb are two good sources.\n\nwww.fafsa.ed.gov and www.fastweb.com\n\nThe college or university you plan on attending will also offer scholarships but they have deadlines - apply asap\n\nEven though the applications appear to be complicated the really are not - so don't pay anyone to do it for you

Have you started by talking to the financial aid office at the college you're interested in?  They'll determine your eligibility for many different kinds of aid--both public and private, subsidized and unsubsidized.  True, you may end up having to take out a private loan (or a combination of things--loans, work-study, etc.)--but they may be able to point you in a better direction than if you try to do it on your own.  Remember: if you don't go there, they don't get the money--so it's in their (the Financial Aid dept.) interest to find a way to get you what you need.  \n\nApologies if you've already gone this route.  Anyway, good luck.

Student loan, financial aid from government, scholarships if you have at least a 3.0GPA.  All you have to do is go to a local college/university and ask someone who works in the financial aid dept.  They will show you everything.  It's that simple.  Then you have to fill out applications and you might have to write a one or two page essay.  That's it!

There are scholarships out there and many. Some are renewable and some are not. Colleges do offer merrit scholarships if you meet certain criteria and maintain it in areas such as grades. Most outside scholarships are judged by an interview or a written essay. Doing your homework about the organization really helps. I will provide sources for both application tips and locating scholarships. Each of these items do not cost a single penny.\n\nFirst, apply at FAFSA.ed.gov the fall semester before you start college. It will help you tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are a current high school student, check with your high school guidance office because they have a list of local scholarships and requires only an application to get consideration on receiving it.\n\nThird, 35 states have a websites where high school students can apply for college admission and for state college grants by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com for it. If your state is not one of these states, search your state government's website.\n\nFourth, the college's financial aid website lists private scholarships offered by companies and organizations.\n\nFifth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your ethnicity, college major, and religion. There are scholarships out there based on these items.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship websites. Most are updated on a regular basis.\n\nIf a company is promising you guaranteed scholarships for a fee, do not do it. Much of the work can be done by yourself for free. Unless your time is very tight, do not use the service. However, the fee could be better spent.\n\nI did notice from one source I came across that a guaranteed scholarship came from colleges and universities. The student met certain criteria such as grades or being a member of the National Honor Society. There is a list at Guaranteed-scholarships.com. It is a small list of colleges, and the scholarships are listed by college and shows the amount.\n\nGood luck!

I've had good luck with www.fastweb.net\n\nAlso, check the reference section of your local library - mine had a great big book broken down by state and/or area of interest and listed various scholarships.\n\nAnd, check your university's website.\n\nOnce you are accepted into a program, talk with the Dean or your advisor.  For graduate school, they are particularly helpful.  Your university and/or program might have scholarship money available for you to apply for.\n\nWhen all else fails... student loans are available, too.\n\nI should know ---- I've done all the above to finance my graduate education at my advanced age (I'll only admit to Over-30)

The online school will definately have information on the website about this. If not, call the phonenumber for student services about it. But you should be able to find information on financial aid on the site.

The first thing you need to know about money for college is that there are two kinds. Free and not free. In other words there are loans and scholarships. You want scholarships first and whatever isn't paid for by those can be covered with loans. To get scholarships some people think you have to be a "straight A" student or an exceptional athlete. Although those things do help, they aren't always necessary. You may have certain unique talents and abilities that can earn you scholarships regardless of your grades. Try visiting www.fastweb.com. You can use this site to make a profile and they will e-mail you scholarship opportunities that apply specifically to you! Two kids from my high school won a scholarship for making their prom outfits out of duct tape! True story! Not all of the scholarships are that crazy but again, they don't necessarily relate to grades or sports. If you do have good grades and/or play sports; great! Use that in your profile and they will send you opportunities that apply directly to your talents. It is totally free and there is no limit as to how many scholarships you can apply for and even win. So try to pay for everything you can with scholarships and then you may need to fill in some gaps with loans. Your next stop: www.fasfa.com. There you will apply for financial aid. You will need your most recent W-2 and your parents help when you apply. If you don't have parents or you are over 24 years of age you get to skip the parent section. This site may reward you with some scholarships as well but it's usually mostly government loans. That is why I would suggest applying for dozens of scholarships first. Good luck finding the money and good luck once you start school. Remember; for every hour spent in class you should spend two hours studying!

Check Petersons Guide to Financial Aid.  It lists all types of financial aid including disablities.

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

Well, it depends on the university you are going to join. Also, the US consulate would check your financial status. I think you need to have IT returns of last three years, of your father's if you are a dependent. Also, his bank balance sheet over one year.\nBest is to talk to students who have already made it to the US. Imnteract and learn more realities from them.
