I go to a community college right now and I fill out the FAFSA and they cover my full tuition and my books and they even give me a real good amount of money back every semester and I can do whatever with that. They also gave me $4,000 for work study. But when I transfer to a 4 year college in which I will have to live on-campus, will they pay for my housing too or at least pay a part of it?
Actually... in a four year school would they pay my entire tuition and for my books and give me work - study too? or they will give me like a portion of the money and make me make a loan to pay the rest?

as long as u put on ure fin aid ap that u will be stayin on campus they will take that into consideration when they award u money. depending on how much tuition is at the school of ure choice u should still get a refund (smaller than what u may be use to) and u will be able to pay for bucks and stuff out of that. my only concern is ure high amount of work study, u will still be granted that as long as u again put it on ure ap, but in the end it makes ure refund smaller if u cancle ure work study they will split the money u were suppose to get for work study between fall and winter/spring semesters it into a loan, but every 1 of course does not choose this option I do and i usually get no less than 5000 in a refund
hope this helps enjoy ure time in dorm life

If your financial aid award is presently specific to your community college it will not transfer with you. If your financial aid is in the form of loans, the loans are dispersed to the university to cover the expense that has been incurred at the university. The university then refunds to you any additional monies due you beyond the tuition, etc. costs incurred for that semester at the university. Therefore, if you request loans for amounts that are more than the tuition that money is refunded to you after the university pays itself. That money is then your living expenses for that semester. Scholarship monies vary and are specific to individual cases. I would check with the Financial Aid department at the university where you will be attending. Good Luck.

Your financial aid package is dependent upon the individual school itself. Each college or university has a certain amount to award in the federal work study program along with their scholarship endowment fund. Also, each college or university has its own equation for dispersing the funds each semester and academic year. I recommend studying hard and getting some good grades because some colleges will give scholarships to transfer students with a certain GPA, but I recommend checking with the schools you are interested in transfering to for this information. I will include some readings which can better explain this process. Good luck!

It depends on the school. Private schools generally offer more financial aid than state schools. Apply to both schools and see if they vary on how much they will give you. If you are receiving aid at the community college level, then chances are pretty high that you will also receive a decent financial aid package in college. Colleges offer work-study, so that should not be a problem. You may not get your first choice of job, though, during your first year.

Anything that is left over after all necessary expenses. tuition,books ect you have to use for your room and board. I think you may still get the work study as long as there are openings on campus. If not you may have to find some kind of work off campus.

More than likely you're at the government max of 4,300
When you transfer and you start living on campus your will be offered a student loan but you will not get any more "free money"
