What you get on your FAFSA *might* completely cover the summer term, go to your school's Financial Aid Office and check. If it doesn't, you will either have to get scholarships that are specifically for the summer term or can be used during it, get a bank loan, borrow from someone you know, or use your own income or your parent/gaurdian's to pay for tuition. Otherwise, don't go at all during the summer term. It's just not worth it.

Do you live in the United States? Are you applying for the FAFSA? If so, they do ask you if this is your first or second BA but I think as long as you are financially in need you will still receive a grant. I am pretty sure that it will be a bit lessened but nothing extreme. If you are applying to outside scholarships that are not dependant on your financial need, then your previous BA shouldn't have any impact on their decision to grant or not grant you the scholarship.

fill out the fasfa.  The school can tell you about the aid you can get and do a search for grants

Possibly, but not much.  When applying for financial aid, you must fill out a form called a FAFSA, which is a federal form that takes into account the amount of money you have, that your parents/guardian have (if you are a dependent), and your income levels.\n\nThe feds then send that information to colleges that you are interested in applying to.  They also provide you with that information in case you decide on other colleges between when you fill out the FAFSA and when you fill out your applications.\n\nThe money that you have in a CD would be counted, but it would be counted if you simply held it in cash, too.  The only difference-maker would be the interest.

you should receive an award letter in the mail saying that you will recieve the grant. but if you look on the fafsa website www.fafsa.ed.gov you should be able to find something that will answer your question that is if you are talking about your federal pell grant

I got a bunch in scholarships (National Merit scholar, state academic scholarship, high school scholarship), and I graduated a semester early (thus earning money for a semester instead of spending it - which just about paid for my previous semester, too).  I didn't qualify for financial aid, but that would have been nice :-)

Yes and no.  I say this because your summer is what you make it.  You have to want your summer to go well.  You first have to take the first step and want to do something with your summer.  However, in actuallity you only have about a month and a few days, so just make the best of it and everything will be all right.

Yes. Many schools's FAFSA deadlines are early in the year (February of March), before many people have done their taxes.  It is common practice for schools to have students estimate their income/asset information using the prior year's tax returns and/or year-end paystubs. Keep in mind, however, that you should correct these numbers (online at www.fafsa.ed.gov) once you DO file your taxes (particularly if the numbers are very different).  \n\nStay honest, though! The government often selects FAFSA filers for review in a process called "Verification."  In this process, your school can request copies of your current tax returns; they will then compare your tax information with your FAFSA data.  If the numbers on your FAFSA don't match up, they have the right to change ("correct") them in their capacity as Financial Aid Administrators.\n\nGood luck!

After you apply for aid on the FAFSA site, with a school code, and send it, it takes about 24-48 for the school to receive it. When they financially package you, your billing will be set up to come out of a student account. PELL usually goes in after a few weeks, followed by unsubsidized loans, and finally scholarships. You can usually pull out any unused funds sometime after the midterm.

Many schools will give you a temporary emergency loan, if they know you are getting financial aid or a loan.  You need to check in your financial aid about an "emergency loan. "\n\nHang in there!  It will be worth all the stress in the end!

Once the school gets your FAFSA..they will send you a financial aid award letter. At most schools, if you qualify for a pell..they will offer that and less of a loan to you.

Of course you can! If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you can apply for financial aid.\n\nIf your parents were not required to file a tax return and thus did not file, it's not like FAFSA requires them to. You just mark on your FAFSA "will not file" on the question regarding a tax return. Then you must still provide information for any income earned from working, or untaxed income such as disability benefits.\n\nGo to www.fafsa.ed.gov and apply right away if you plan on attending the Spring 2007 semester (Jan-May07) or the Summer 2007 semester. If you won't be starting till Aug07 (the 07-08 school year) then you must wait till after Jan 1, 2007 to complete the 07-08 FAFSA.\n\nIf you have any further questions, your best bet is to contact your school's Financial Aid Office. The people there are trained to answer your financial aid questions.

You should check with the financial aid offices of the school(s) you want to attend. The likelihood is because you want to attend in the 2006-2007 school year now is a good time to apply for federal/state aid. \n\nAlso, you should also check to see if the school accepts new freshman in the spring (lots of school only accept students for fall).

In the US fill out your FAFSA form to find out, you will more than likely be able to get a loan, but it won't be great.\n\n\nwww.fafsa.gov

Well when I  was in college we would get our check after they  took out tution for the semster. Then they would give us a check, I would use the check to buy books first and then the rest was history! I used it for whatever. The reason you get financial aid is so that you can survive throughout the semster and pay for classes. After the classes are paid for that money should be used for books, clothes, school necesities, food, rent etc. \nI always would get my check buy books, then have a couple rent checks make out  ( cashier checks) and then use the rest for stuff I needed. Sorry my answer is so long. As always with anything check directly with your school before listening to me on yahoo! Good luck!

You are eligible to receive financial aid up to your Cost of Attendance, which is a speficic figure set by your school.  Until very recently, schools weren't allowed to include housing (on- or off-campus) costs in the COAs of *part-time* students, which may be why you haven't been eligible before.  If you become full-time, your COA is likely to include a "reasonable" amount for housing, books, transportation, etc. It can include other "necessities," too (at the school's discretion).  If you can live on a budget, your financial aid might be able to cover your bills (it really depends on how much you spend on rent, etc).\n\nKeep in mind that there are limits to the amount of grant aid that you can receive, regardless of whether your school COA is $10,000 or $40,000 -- so you may not be able to cover your entire COA (and get money for rent) with just grants like Pell and SEOG.  However, you will be allowed to borrow loans (Federal or private, depending on your level of Financial Need) to cover your remaining costs.  Chances are that your friend either (1) borrows loans, (2) receives generous instutitional scholarship, (3) doesn't go to a very expensive school, or (4) all of the above.  This would be why he has financial aid left over after his bill has been paid...

Well, did you look into any state specific scholarships? I applied for four in my state. Banks, and local institutions might have scholarships avaliable in your town, too. I'm planning on applying to a few fastweb.com scholarships as well... Not to sound obvious, but did you check when you were supposed to hear back from the organization? Did you turn them in on time? If yes, then there is nothing wrong with calling and say "Hi, I applied for your scholarship ____ number of days/months ago, and was wondering when I should be hearing about that." As long as you don't call obsessively, there's no harm in asking.  Also, if you don't get enough of your financial need met, when the school year starts you can ask the school if there were any unaccepted scholarships/funds/grants that you would be eligible for or to apply for. Make sure you call your school about that $35K sum. Did you file the FAFSA? Is that your EFC? If it is, make sure to ask your school what their policy is on applying scholarships toward the EFC. And lastly, usually the school has scholarship, grant and loan information on their website in the financial aid section. Hope this helps, and good luck!
