finicial aid question?

Financial aid is broken into 3 parts: student loans (as with all loans, they have to be paid back), scholarships/grants (free money) and work-study (you can get a job where the employer pays part of your wage & the govt pays the other part; these usually pay a bit better than non-work-study jobs and some are easy things like working a sign-in desk).

This is something to contact the hospital about, either to their billing department or a social worker.  Most hospitals are willing to work out some type of payment plan, if that is something that he can do.  They could point him to the right direction for any type of aid available in your area.

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.

did u fill out your fasfa and they didn't even give you a loan option? have you talked about it with your school? I would first ask my school and listen to what they have to say because they typicaly know all the answers to that. I would also try for scholarships which can be found in great numbers at Fast web. hopefully this is somewhat helpful

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!

I have been taking on-line courses for about a year now. (Business Adminastration) I am taking them though the local college. I checked out the on-line at other places and their cost was 3 times as much as our local college. Yes, you can get financial aid for these, but it is no where near the amount that it will cost you. ADVISE: Get out of the one you found on the internet, and go to your local college, take the on-line courses through them. Your Financial aid will cover these. Books and all!!!

You can go to the red cross.....there has to be some type of emergency, and you can only get it once every four years or so.  It's a grant, not a loan. So you don't have to pay it back.

I was in this situation myself.  Since you are short on money, I would recommend that you try completing the forms yourself.  See below for a link to a site that was useful to me.  Prepare for a lot of homework.\n\nAs a warning, there are fees which must be paid with these applications.  In addition, one of the forms require that you show that you and your husband are able to support yourself financially.  If you meant literally that you have no money, you may need an additional sponsor (parent, friend, etc.) to help you.\n\nGood luck.

Go to your college financial aid office and ask them. Good luck!

Ask at your hospital to speak to a Financial Aide Department.  Also a Social Worker should be able to help you out and give you some contacts.  Perhaps you can talk to the Church also.  Medicaid may be able to help too or Medicare Part B for medications.  My best of luck to you.

No, but I read hundreds every year.\n\nOf all the appeals your Financial Aid Office will receive, they are most likely to approve the ones that fall into one of the following categories:\n\n* job/income loss\n* medical expenses not covered by insurance\n* loss of primary home\n\nYou may, of course, submit an appeal for any reason (it's always worth a try), but here are a few things to keep in mind:\n\n* If you are appealing based on your cost of living, don't expect much flexibility: the EFC formula has already "sheltered" a certain amount of your disposable income to allow you to cover the "bare necessities" (this is known as the "asset/income protection allowance"). Quite simply, your FA office isn't supposed to include many more costs than the ones already allowed for.  Regulations have made it clear that we are not supposed to consider expenses such as credit card costs, utility bills, tithing, etc. A good rule of thumb: if not everyone needs it, it probably can't be considered a "necessity" for you.\n\n* Any appeal that you write should offer *new* information to the Financial Aid Office.  Remember that the FAO has already looked at your FAFSA results and know what your income/assets were for the previous tax year.  If nothing has changed, then you will probably need to appeal based on something else.  If there HAVE been changes (mid-year job loss, death of a parent, the birth of a child/sibling, etc), then definitely let the FAO know.\n\n* Watch the tone of your letter. Obviously, in any interview and with any application, it is important to set yourself apart from other applicants -- but don't make assumptions or judgements about other students (like "My friend makes a lot more money than I do and you gave him more Financial Aid!").  Know enough to know that there are things you don't know (about other students and about the process).\n\nObviously, the procedures for appealing scholarship decisions vary by school. Some scholarships are based on merit/academic performance while others are based on financial need. Before you write your appeal, make sure that you know the selection criteria for the scholarship for which you are applying, and focus on those areas.

Yes, of course! :) Where else are you going to be putting the extra finaid money? \n\nBut you might need to report this on your FAFSA if it's a high number. This might affect how much finaid you will receive. \n\nI've always been told that if the money in your bank account is being saved for buying a house or a car or any other major thing, you shouldn't report it.

You could apply to the Financial aid office of the university/ HE institute you will be attending. Usually most facilities have some sort of scheme which may or may not be available to you. It never hurts to ask.

I would contact the school.  You should have already gotten it long ago...our funds are in our students hands the week before a semester starts.  It may vary from school to school...but you should have it for sure!  GOOD LUCK! :)

Just going through the application process now - and the first answerer is correct.  If you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit - i.e. Income Support you are given financial support.  You can also receive a partial or full financial award if you are a low income family or individual - I think £15k is the cut off for assistance.  But if you have any questions go to http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/about/p6_1.shtml\nthey have a calculation tool to advise how much support you can get.  The only problem I had is that you HAVE to have a bank account in your name, which I didn't have - I only had a post office account.  Good luck x x x
