DO I HAVE ENOUGH FINANCIAL AID AWARDS TO ATTEND THIS SCHOOL

Answer 1

No, it is not close without bringing in either a student loan or outside scholarship. You still have the majority of the cost for housing, meals, books & supplies, and indirect costs to deal with on coming up with the funding. There is enough money to cover the tuition if ou lived at home and commuted to the school, but there is no money given to live on campus. However, there are options out there that can help you find money to attend college.

First, 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.

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

Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.

Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites, but the best I have located is Scholarship Experts since they have a very thorough and lengthy survey to complete compared to Fastweb. 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.

If all methods listed above fail, I recommend getting a student loan if this is your first choice school out of your acceptance pile. The other choice would be going to the community college for two years and then transfering to the college to lower the amount in student loans you get.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Not even close...If this is your first and only choice...try grabbing some loans. Otherwise...you will not be able to afford attending this school.

Answer 3

you have to get an outside loan or go to another school
