Financial Aid

I've recently (in June) moved to California from Virginia and I would like to attend a college. I Do have the FAFSA but keep hearing/reading about Cal grant. My question is how long does it take to in order to be eligible for Cal grant? A year or more?

Appreciate all answers & many thanks in advance! :)

I think 3.7 is high enough to get some scholarships. Mine is currently between 3.7 & 3.8, and goes up steadily every semester, which I noted in my scholarship application essay. I also said other positive things as to why I'd be a good scholarship candidate (future goals, etc.). But I didn't get even a few hundred in scholarship money.

Is that odd?

Just curious.

I have over $100,000 in student loans and am not making very much money at all. I'm barely able to pay my bills and there is no way that I can manage $1100 a month. I'm wondering what would happen if I just send in $100 a month until I start to make more money. I can't even afford HALF of what I'm supposed to pay! All of this college did not lead to a very high paying job. FYI: These are FEDERAL loans and have already been consolodated. I still have a year of unemployment deferment left and will use it if I have to. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN BE PUT IN JAIL FOR NON (OR SLOW) PAYMENT OF STUDENT LOANS? I know they can take tax returns, bank accounts, and even prevent you from getting certain kinds of government jobs. If I work as a public school teacher can they take my teaching certificate? I'm not trying to get out of paying these debts, it's just that I can't do it on their schedule!!!! I would be dying at $200 a month, and they want more than I can pay. Any REAL asnwers please!

I am about to move out of town to finish up college, but I will frequently be making a 400-mile one way trip to and from my home town. My car is 11 years old and has 140,000 miles. My question is, should I take out student loans in order to use part of the $20,000 for a new car, or should I just try to make my current car work in order to avoid the debt? Thanks.

I am majoring in Computer Science and I am planning to graduate my school with bachelor's degree when I will be 18. And then 2more years to graduate my master's degree.
I am from a poor country so it is like a nightmare to afford the costs in the US.

Therefore, can you help me with that please.
In addition, I am not able to work in the US because I am not an adult. I came here in the US on January 2006 and studied for the spring semester.
My parents will pay as much as they can for my upcoming fall semester 2006 but it won't cover fully my tuition and fees.
Honestly I do need now $3000 or more money.
Please help me. I am just 16 years old.

My husband wants to go back to school soon. His grandma has $$ and will pay for all school-related expenses, but we need help covering the time he wont be able to work. It wouldn't be used on school stuff, just to supplement a paycheck for the two years of school. How do I find one??

I am a senior in college. I have never taken out any loans so I dont know how. My parents are taking care of my tuition but how can I get a loan that will cover my rent and a computer for school? Do most student loans go directly to the University?

will stores allow a teen to use their parents credit card? When do stores ask for ID? Does signing the back of the card make any difference in the above questions?

I just got a letter in the mail saying that my federal financial aid was rejected due to academic ineligibility. I was awarded the money for the fall a few months ago and was just about to register for classes. This just came out of nowhere and I have no idea what is going on. They said that I could appeal it. I've had a few withdrawls over the last 2 years, but A's and B's otherwise. Before, my academic record is a bit checkered and I've been at a number of different community colleges. Finally, after I got to a 4 year and was about to go to school full time, they drop my aid! Anyone have any ideas what is going on? Can I look up academic standards anywhere? Who can I fight/yell at/kill? I'm really really really frustrated.

she says she is a widow (agathakent@yahoo.com.uk) and chose me to be her beneficiary, she has asked me for some of my identifications and a bank account where she can transfer the money...her lawyer (aardenesq@yahoo.co.uk) has also contacted me about it... i asked a friend from california (fullproof2000@yahoo.com) and said that if it asks me a bank account, then it must be a scam... so i told the lawyer and the lady that i have no bank account and since then they never bother to email me again...
