how can i pay for college?

Answer 1

Get a job.

Answer 2

There are lots of ways to pay for college. You kind of left the topic wide open, so I'll assume you haven't actually talked to the school yet about financial aid. You'll need to do that, but before you do, go to www.fafsa.gov and fill out a report. It let's you know if you're qualified to get any aid, and if so how much. You'll need lots of info so when you get to the site, check out the before you fill out your fafsa checksheet. Once you're done, print out your EFC or SAR report and take it with you to the Fin Aid office.

If you can't get grants/loans through the school, than try scholarships and personal loans. Make sure you check your credit first on the loans or it will be a dead end.

Good luck!

Answer 3

if you're still in high school, a really good way to fund some parts of college is to get a job. if you're a senior, find a job where you can work lots of hours this summer, and save save save!

hopefully your parents have been saving too.

when you've been accepted to a college, fill out the fafsa at www.fafsa.ed.gov. you can have the results sent to your college and the financial aid office will let you know what you're eligible for. depending on your EFC and lots of other factors, you may be eligible for grants and scholarships (free money for college). you might also be eligible for work-study, which is a job on campus.

you'll also be eligible for loans. your parents will more than likely be eligible for a loan too.

most students have to borrow loans in order to pay for school.

Answer 4

Have been doing research on this for the past 15 months for my civic club. We sponsor a high school based youth club and their members are always in need of scholarship$$.

I have never had any luck with any of the scholarship search companies where you pay a fee. Maybe someone else has?

A lot of corporations want to be seen as "good neighbors" in the community. And they need a way to attract young workers. So some of them grant scholarships, usually from $1,500 to $10,000.

When visiting the websites of these companies, on the home page look for something like: ABOUT US or CORP INFO. Click on that, and then look for something like: COMMUNITY or COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

From my research: check out:
1. BestBuy (2 scholarships from each store for $1,500 and they enter you at their headquarters for a $10,000 scholarship).

2. Comcast (your high school principal must recommend you for a $1,000 scholarship. They also have paid internship at a limited number of locations nationwide.)

3. Cracker Barrel (www.cbrlgroup.com) for employees, or their children - $1,000

4. Kohls (each store awards $50 and a certificate; then submits their winners to the region. Regional winners receive $1,000 and are submitted to the corporate headquarters. Corporate level winners get a $5,000 scholarship and a $1,000 donation to their favorite charity.) AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS TO KIDS AS YOUNG AS 6.

5. Wal-Mart (www.walmartfoundation.org) Each store awards $1,000 to 2 students at each school in their area. Or if you have been an employee for 12 months, you qualify to apply for a $2,500 scholarship.

6. McDonalds (as Ronald McDonald House Charities at: www.RMHC.ORG) varies by region of the county. But a typical award is $1,000. May be from the corporation or from an association of stores in your area.

Each of these companies have a simple application (1–2 pages) process.

Good luck.
