Can I use Tuition Assitance and receive full monthly GI Bill at the same time?

Im making the assumption you are in the Guard, or Reserve.  TA is a Federal Program for soldiers who are currently serving.  GIBill is a program for veterans which can be used concurrently with TA.  as long as you are taking a full load ie: 12 hrs you are entitled to your full GI Bill money.  The GI Bill is deposited directly into your bank account you can do with it what you will as long as you maintain a 2.0.  TA goes to the University directly.  If you were to use the top up your GIBill benefits would only be decreased by the amount needed to cover your tuition ie: 400 dollars. The other 600 will just remain a part of your benefits.  The remaining money can be used later if you were to enroll full time and want the full monthly amount.  If you are enrolled full time you could draw both and pocket the 600 but it would decrease your future benefit amounts by the regular monthly rate. By taking the Top UP you are reducing the total amount of money but they will pay GIBill money until all 36 months of entitlement are used up and your benefit money runs out.  \n\nHope that helps

I would try a ESA. It's an education savings account that can be used for any educational purposes. Not just college.\nOr you cuold try a UTMA account. Uniform Transfer to Minors. An adult would be custodian on this account until the minor turns between 18-21 yrs old depending on the state of residence.

YES.  at least in the state of illinois, if you are the child of a vietnam vet (doesnt even have to be deceased), you can get a full scholarship to any public university in the state.  several students from my school have used this.  i dont know about other states, but id imagine that other states have benefits as well.

it all depends on what your tuition is.  but they will probably pay you tuition plus living expenses.

If your parents still claim you, it is very, very difficult.  Try work study at the university, but that may only cover a portion of tuition.

Montgomery GI Bill:  $100/month for 12 months gets you $20,000 or MORE for college tuition.\n\nMedical and dental beneifts at no cost to you.  Dependants pay a small fee for dental, but there is no montly fee for Medical.\n\nBasic allowance for housing:  if you choose not tolive in the Barracks or ont he ship, you will receive money to help pay for the rent.\n\nBasic Allowance for Substinence:  When authorized, money for groceries.\n\nTop notch training.\n\n30 days paid vacation each year.. starting from the first year, earned monthly.\n\nThere are other bennies and extra pays, but they vary greatly from job to job.

set up a meeting with the advisors in the financial aid office of your school. you will have to declare emancipation from your parents. that means they will not be able to declare you for income tax purposes in the future but you will qualify for far more aid than you would under their income. \ni'm pretty sure that load in default will continue to haunt you anyway. you need to notify that loan company that you are still attending classes so they can defer the loan while you are still studying. don't stop until you get someone to listen to your story.

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...

I never heard of paying for one semester on your own to qualify again. I do know that if you have too many "W" or withdrawals/late drops that it will effect your financial aid, but you must accumulate a certain amount. Also if you are a full time student and you do not complete the minimum 12 units you need to notify financial aid with an explanation. Also depending on how low below the required units you complete, you may have to repay them back all or a portion of the Aid awarded to you.

My job offers full payment for a passing grade (C or higher).  I know some places pay on a sliding scale.  For example: A = 100%  B = 75%  C = 50%\n\nRegardless, why not use the program?  At least you'd have a chance at getting some of your money back.

I was able to get through my undergraduate degree, my MBA, and half of my law degree using my G.I. Bill.  It only really paid for the undergraduate studies (at a state school), but it was a welcome and needed allowance/expense account for the other two (private) schools.  Best deal I ever made.\n\nCongratulations on your Associates.  Keep on plugging along!

Talk to the school. If you only have one month left, I'm sure they have answers for you. They get funding based on how many students graduate from their institution. If all else fails, ask your parents and pay them back! One month-don't give up now!

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! :)

Yes, check with your lenders. It doesnt matter if your semester started or not as long as your enrolled. However b careful some lenders won't send the money directly to you but instead to the school.

Yes, this can help you to manage your resources and ensure that you will have enough money left at the end of the semester to pay bills and be able to eat.  Also, a few hundred dollars or an open credit card should be set aside for emergencies at all times.
