Answer 1

Yep now you have to wait until the schools you applied to recieve your FAFSA. They will then send you a tuition estimate along with any grants and other financial aids you qualify for.

Answer 2

It depends on the individual school itself. However, you do qualify for a Pell Grant but not the full amount, and the amount is $982. The school should be getting back to you within a couple weeks or so with a financial aid award letter. In the letter, it will contain need based scholarships, work study, and student loan amount. I will include some free free resources to locate money to attend college in case you need it.

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.

Fifth, fill out the FAFSA form. It will tap into need based financial aid from the college. It will come in the form of government grant money, student loan, college scholarships, and the campus work study program. It is based on a formula devised by the government to determine your aid. It needs to be filled out yearly. The form becomes available January 1 for the upcoming fall semester or quarter.

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!
