Tax credit for college tuition and Hope Scholarship funds?
967976
If you have a scholarship that covers all of your eligible expenses, then you wouldn't be eligible for a tax credit since that's only for what you actually pay.  But if your scholarship doesn't cover all the eligible expenses, you can still claim a tax credit for the eligible expenses that you have to pay over and above the scholarship.  You don't get a tax credit for the amounts that your scholarship pays.\n\nGood luck.

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEDUCT SOME OF YOUR TUITION AND SUPPLIES.  YOUR SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE SENT YOU A FORM FOR TAXES!

If no scholarships available think of where you can cut down expenses in your budget. Take lunches to work, bring your own coffee and snacks instead of buying them, rent movies instead of going to the movies, cook more at home instead of going through that drive up window...maybe see if there is work available at the school that can be done in exchange for all or part of the tuition.  Just look everything over ....  :o)

Yes. I was able to, talk to your financial adviser and they will be able to help you. I did everything online, and was able to get the funds needed to go to college.

I'm assuming you mean grants or scholarships? Because getting loans (Stafford, Perkins..) is pretty easy (although I'd recommend it only as a last resort, considering that you're not exactly heading into a high-paying field.  You don't want to get stuck with years of paying back loans!) A few possible resources:  1) the business office or financial aid office at the school/seminary you're intending to enroll in. 2) your denominational office (whoever's in charge of ordination, licensing, etc.) 3) your local congregation--ask your pastor, your parish council, and/or put an ad in the church's bulletin or newsletter.  You could ask your local church to sponsor you.  If you are currently a pastor of a church, you might check into the Lilly Foundation's program to help fund sabaticals for pastors.  I was at a conference last year where they were practically begging pastors to apply.  Good luck with your search.

if you are an educator you can deduct up to 250 in educator expenses. If you are a student you get tuition and fees deduction or hope credit or lifetime learning credit.

depends.  \n\nfill out the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. and submit to the schools you are looking at.  Depending on what funds they have available, what you are eligible for will determine the package you get.  People usually are eligible for more than they think!

If you expect (or want to) receive any financial aid to pay for college, you need to either spend that money or hide it in a (gasp) retirement account. If you don't, FAFSA asks you how much you have saved, and your financial aid package will expect you to spend all of that money.\n\nThe best retirement account to hide it in is a Roth IRA (but you can only contribute to it in the same year that the money is earned, so it might be too late for you). Do some research online into Roth IRA's.\n\nIf you don't expect any financial aid or you don't find a retirement account, you should put the money into an account that earns the most interest. Generally it'll be an online money market or savings account. Currently the best ones are linked below. Make sure you read the terms and understand how to transfer money in and out of these accounts.

Probably the best is to contact the school. Some schools have scholarships that are given based on needs. Please specify where you live so people can give you specific advice.

Technically, the government allows a family to borrow financial aid (PLUS loans, for example) up to the student's cost of attendance.  Although it is not "free money," it is financial aid.\n\nBut, yes, the federal government expects the student and parent to play the primary role in paying for that student's college education. Federal grant aid is reserved for the families with the highest amount of financial need.  In order to qualify for a Pell grant, your EFC must be $3,850 or lower. Certainly, parents with $4000 EFCs are needy as well, but there isn't nearly enough funding to make the cutoff much higher than it is.\n\nWhen the government calculates your Expected Family Contribution, the formula they use assumes that you are living a modest lifestyle -- it does not take into account any consumer debt that you may have or the cost of living in the state in which you reside.  As a result, most families do not believe that their EFC accurately reflects their ability to pay for their child's schooling -- and this may be the case.\n\nMost schools will allow you to appeal your financial aid package.  Before doing so, I would encourage you to read the following advice: http://www.finaid.org/fafsa/negotiation.phtml
