Financial Aid for College?
813089
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.

I might suggest talking to the Financial aid folks at the University that you are interested. At least they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Others things to consider is a scholorship.  There are many scholarships that will cover your expenses in college.  One of the most popular one is the Honors scholarship (GPA 3.5 or better).  As your college advisor (your department chair, NOT the college financial aid office, they are dummies) and check if you are eligible for any assistance.

Go here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Fill out an application. And the government will decide, based on many facts and figures you give them how much money you will be able to afford for college. The figure will be from $0 and up. Then you talk to the financial aid counselor at the university or college you want to attend and they tie the final strings for you either giving you grants or loans.

try this and get educated about your options.\n\nhttp://www.savingforcollege.com/.\n\nthey will probably be eligible for financial aid, loans and scholarships.  there are many types of scholarships - not just for athletics.\nBut savings is still the best way as not all aid and scholarships cover the incidentals.\n\nI have found that the pre paid college plans are a dynamite way to save for college.

Don't be afraid to call local colleges financial aid offices, they should be able to tell you what options are available, and maybe even help you apply, or at least point you in the right direction....and you can always look on the net under scholarships, I imagine if you look under grants, you'll be getting alot of unwanted emails! so  I'd try scholarships first.

You speak to the financial advisor of that school.  You can apply for loans and grants.  They will assist you with all you need to know in paying for school.

The best place to go for information regarding financing your education is your school's financial aid office. They should point you in the right direction regarding financing options. Because your parents "make too much money" as is the case with the majority of college students, you will probably need to take out student loans. If you go through the U.S. Department of Education's Direct Loan program, the interest rates are extremely reasonable and payback schedules are flexible. \n\nBesides loans, you can also attain non-need-based grants, and scholarships through private institutions. Then, there are also work study programs. Although, admittedly, many of my friends did not like this option. \n\nPlease heed the deadlines for applications submissions as they are extremely important. Be open with your financial aid officers and let them know your concerns and they should give you some good advice.\n\nGood luck!

Your first step is to contact the financial aid office at the college or university you want to attend.  That office is your gateway to need-based grants, scholarships, work-study and loans.  Ask for information on applying for financial aid and any deadlines that you have to meet.  Then follow through with their directions ASAP.  Your should also contact the scholarship office on campus for information on merit-based  scholarships (those awarded to students with good grades; and endowed scholarships (those financed by alumni or local corporations).  Once you've done this, you can start looking at alternative sources of funding.  Private/corporate scholarships and grants are indexed in a variety of places (on-line and in books at your local public library).  You might also check with your or your parents' employer  to see if there are any scholarships available.  Also  check with your church, synagogue or diocese; local fraternal organization (Lion's Club, Shriner's, Optimist's, Rotary Club); and if you belong to a youth group (boy scouts, girl scouts, etc.) or athletic team, check with the sponsor to see if scholarships are available.

Look into all grant programs. There should also be some type of unsubsidized loan that you can get. You did not say if you are in the U.S. or not so under the assumption that you are you should fill out the fasfa and see how much you can get, then you can always put some money aside from your paychecks to compensate for what you are lacking in financial aid.

http://www.fafsa.gov\n\nthat's the form you have to fill out to get government financial aid for school... (depending on your income and the school you're going to, the government will cover a large chunk of it in grants/loans, up to all of your school)

There are many scholarships out there and places to locate financial aid for college. The best thing about it is that most places to locate them are free to search and apply. I always recommend proofreading and researching (check the website about the organization and also their press releases) before writing the essay or having an interview for the essay.\n\nFirst, FAFSA.ed.gov will help a student tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are student attending high school, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships available to its students.\n\nThird, if you are attending a college or university in your state, search the state government website for college grants because most offer need based financial aid. Also, 35 states have a website where high school students can apply for college admission and state college financial aid at the same time.\n\nFourth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your race, ethnicity, college major, and religion. For example, certain college majors have organizations offering scholarships for those college students studying it.\n\nFifth, most college financial aid websites and some college majors list private scholarships from companies and organizations not associated with the college.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. I recommend joining several of them.\n\nGood luck!

If your financial aid will pay for food, rent, utilities, gas, and entertainment, then by all means...STUDY!  If you find that you don't have enough money for the entertainment, get a job on campus or somewhere like a library or a receptionist....something where you can study on the job and you only have to work 10-15 hours a week.   I went to school and worked full time for the last 3 yrs of my education and I went from dean's list to "d" for diploma, ya dig?  Take it easy, enjoy your education and the people you meet.  Take care and good luck!

As the mother of a college student, been there done that! Go online and fill out a FAFSA. This will determine the amount of grants and subsidized loans your son will be eligible for. Then go to fastweb.com and check out some scholarships, have your son apply for these. (Fastweb won't share your info unless you tell them too and they don't spam you.) If you need more money to pay for college you can talk with the financial aid office at the University about scholarships that they offer, including departmental scholarships, and also about a CAL or Sallie Mae loan. I' ve listed the links below, hope they help.
