It really does depend on the college you want a degree from. Some colleges (the good ones) will see that you got a GED and think "why should we accept her if she can't even make it through high school?" But if you work hard in your first two years of college then they will see how well you've improved. \n\nA GED will not affect you fafsa application and will be granted depending on your need for aid. Some people are well off still get more than enough fafsa.\n\nAnother thing you have to think of is....Do you really want to go into the college world not being fully prepared for it? If you don't test at the right level when you enter college then you will be wasting your grant money on precredit classes and sometimes fafsa will not pay for that. \n\nWell I hope I've been helpful and given you something to think of.\nBest of luck to you!

Hi,  \n\n   I highly recommend for you to make a plan to get your diploma.  When you have this, everything will be so much easier.  In the meantime, check out any supermarkets and/or department stores in your area.  Also any local restaurants would most likely have openings.\n   \n   Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.\n    \n   Sometimes if you apply at a temporary employment agency they can help you find a job in a field that might not require a GED or diploma.\n\n   \n   I use a FREE online application that allows you to keep track of any ads you find, jobs you apply for.  You can send or print correspondence such as a cover letter, thank you letter, or cold call letters. It also allows you to keep track of your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com.....   check it out.  Absolutely free and real helpful! \n\nGood Luck,\n\nKaren\n\n    http://indeed.com\n    http://job-hunt.org\n    http://jobsearchlog.com

If the school is a public school, then go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and fill out the FAFSA application...which stands for:\n\nFree Application for Federal Student Aid\n\nAnd the government will help you according to your financial needs.  You have to fill in the CORRECT info, b/c you will eventually have to give them a copy of your w2, so they will find out if you stretch the truth even one bit.  If you have any questions, they have a help line where the people are very nice a willing to help you fill out the form.  It takes about 45 minutes to an hour ti fill it out.  You have to fill it out every year with the previous years' income info, and you'll want to get it done by March b/c the sooner you get it done, the more grants and scholarships you can get for school.  So, for example, when you get to the site, if you are stating school in August 2006, you would want to finish the FAFSA application by March 2006...before you start that school year.  And, hence, you would fill out the FAFSA by March 2007 for the school year August 2007 to June 2008.  Make sure you fill out the right year.  \n\nWhen you finish filling out the FAFSA, at the end they will give you an ESTIMATED EFC: Expected Family Contribution.  This is how much you should expect to pay for your education.  The lower the EFC, the better it is for you.  \n\nThere is plenty of help on the web site if you need it.  Good luck!\n\n\nAlso, if the school is a private school, they do not receive help from the gov't, so you should ask them about scholarships.  If money is an issue, though, public schools are just as good as private schools...sometimes better.  (Check into how much each school charges....sometimes a smaller school will charge less, and have more scholarships available.  These ideas will have an impact on which school you choose to attend, if you haven't already decided.  Don't let it be the only item to think about, but cost is important, too.)

The only official site from the Federal government is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov All those other sites (like .com and .org) are scams.  FAFSA stands for "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" -- all that those other sites do is charge you to file the same information.  If you ever think you need help with the questions on the FAFSA (there will be questions about your income, assets, household, and enrollment plans) call your school's Financial Aid Office for assistance or visit www.studentaid.ed.gov for some advice on applying. (Alternatively, you can post on here and we'll help with the specifics.)\n\nHow do you file?  Go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and in the middle column click on "Fill out a FAFSA." Select the year you want from the drop-down menu.  If you're going to be starting school in the Fall, you'll want to file the 2006-2007 FAFSA.  The following site offers step-by-step instructions for each question: http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/completing_fafsa/index.html

Go To www.fasfa.com   \n\nalso try your financial aid office at the college you want to attend. There are so many scholarships out there and other types of assistance, sometimes you can work at the school and receive assistance so you don't have to pay it back.

The first thing you should do is fill out a Free Application for Federal Student AID (FAFSA).  This form gives the government information it needs to determine what aid you qualify for and what you and your parents are expected to contribute based on income.  This form also helps to make grants available to you based on need.  \n\nThere are scholarships available based on need, race, and other factors.  I recommend going to FastWeb.com to find out about scholarships that you may qualify for based on your heritage and other factors.  There are also books available through your local library, and your guidance counselor would be an excellent resource as well.\n\nGood luck on your search.

Life is hard and even harder for someone who has dropped out of school. Even a GED is harder to pass than high school. So stick with school, graduate, finish college, and have a great life. Good luck.

The best thing to do is go to a local book store and get one of the big books.  Sometimes they come with a CD, and all.  I JUST finished getting my GED.  after 10 years of not being in school. Plus my local college offered FREE classes to prepare for the GED.  Maybe a college in your state has the same program.  You may want to check into it.

You can try one of three things:\n1. get your GED\n2. get your Eqivalent high schooldiploma\n3. do independent studies\n\nthe best thing to do is talk to your school counciler about all three, they should be able to help you and let you know more about those options.
