How can I go to college FAST whithout working but being poor?

Question

is it possible to get through college asap to become a teacher for 3-4 grade, without working full time but not having parent pay your way, because they are poor and you don't live with them?

Answer 1

It is possible to attend college because there is financial aid. However, it takes a bachelors degree and student teaching to become a third or fourth grade teacher which takes 4 years. There are grants, student loans, student loan forgiveness programs, and college scholarships. If you select the option, you can participate in the work study program which will give money and work experience. I have listed some free sources to locate money to attend college.

First, fill out the FAFSA form which will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. It provides scholarships, student loans, and grants. This is to be completed each year after January 1 for the fall semester and will cover the entire school year.

Second, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.

Third, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Fourth, search for scholarships in your specific state for elementary school teachers using your state government's website, Google.com, and Yahoo.com.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!
