Answer 1

Honestly, there are lots of websites that offer good scholarships. However, it is up to you to do the searching. This is something that will take lots of time and commitment, but it will be well worth it in the end. The best thing you can do is start early. Don't wait until the last minute to look for scholarships. Are you eligible for financial aid? If you know what college you want to go to, I would advise you to talk with someone there. They will be able to tell you about many scholarship offers they have at the school also. That's how I found out about several offers. If all else fails, don't be afraid to take out a loan. It's really not that bad. As I was looking at job offers the other week, I noticed a company looking for an accountant. They were paying over $200,000 a year! I don't think you will have a problem paying off your loans with that kind of money. Anyway, that's what the loans are there for. Good luck!

Many scholarships awarded to University students have separate processes, deadlines, eligibility criteria, and application forms. The resource links provided here will introduce you to a wide spectrum of possibilities available from the University and numerous other philanthropic agencies, organizations, and individuals.

You may be reading this website because you’ve already concluded that you will apply for scholarships. Or, the question of whether or not to apply for scholarships may not have an obvious answer for you yet. Either way, it’s sensible to read our website and get the facts about scholarships as well as the best advice we can offer about how to succeed in winning scholarships.

We will spend time in this website explaining how college funding works, the types of scholarships available, how to find them and how to apply for them. That’s pretty standard issue for a website about scholarships, although we think if you’ll pardon us saying so, that we’ve done an excellent and job of being comprehensive and readable. Here’s what’s different.

Scholarships are the ideal form of student aid, as they're basically gifts that never have to be repaid. On the other hand, student loans must be repaid, but they're made at very low interest rates, and you're usually you're not required to begin repayment until six months after you graduate. Some student loans require you to prove financial need, but some of them don't. Many students turn to student loans as a method to pay for college. Basically, if you cannot get access to the free money you have to borrow it in the form of a student loan.

Answer 3

The only way this is going to happen is through scholarships and grants. Hopefully you are really involved and have great grades because that is going to a key factor in getting these. Honestly, if you need to take out loans they are worth it. Your education is an investment. Government loans have very low interest rates. You could also get a job and pay for it out of pocket.

Answer 4

"Costs 2007–08: Anticipated tuition and fees, $30,660; room and board estimates, $12,500. Tuition and fees should be expected to increase over four years. New fee schedules are published every spring for the next academic year. " This is a private school. Meaning the 44K is PER YEAR cost, not the total for all four years. Note the cost I quoted above is 3 years ago. It is probably a lot more now... as is housing. (See below for reference). When you choose an expensive private school such as this, you WILL have debt when you graduate. As will your parents. No, you don't have any money left over from your Pell grant and your max Stafford loan. Think of it this way, if all you get is PELL at 5,550 a year and a Stafford loan at 5,500 a year you are going to be VERY VERY short of the 44K you will need for tuition and room and board and you (or the folks) will have to pay the difference. (to the tune of about 30K a year). You might see if your parents will take out a PLUS loan to cover the excess, but it is my experience that students with low EFC's such as yours have parents who are unwilling or unable to commit to parent plus loans because they start making payments immediately upon you starting college. Not to mention they would have to take out another loan again for you when you are a sophomore, and another when you are a junior, and another when you are a senior... totaling 4 loans of what... (around 30K each?) 90K in debt for your low income parents to repay... could they afford 1,000 a month payments for the next ten years for you? Ask them before you commit and have a back up school. Because unless this school pulls out at LEAST 30K a year for you in addition to the Pell and Stafford loans (FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS) don't commit to a school you and the folks can't afford. There is nothing worse than going to your dream school your freshman year and then have to come home your second year because the school didn't promise you that much money all four years. They lure the freshman there but never do anything to keep them there. You can attend many schools for well under the 10K you will get in Pell and Stafford loans. Chose a state school or if you want money to "Live off of" choose a community college. You can attend there on your Pell grant only (no loans) many cost only 3,000 a year. Leaving you with about an extra 2,500 to pay for books and money to "Live off of".

Answer 5

You can donate plasma to help cover the basics. Bone marrow to cover more. Take pills that could eventually kill you if it goes wrong. All the above could cover living expenses, but you should get a job to cover the rest. Good luck graduating debt free. Or you can find an employer that will pay your tuition when you get hired.

Answer 6

A professor did it by working full-time for the college which allowed him to go to class for free.

There's military (although I'm not sure they pay THAT much), after you get out they pay for your education (as well as training while you're in).

Or you could teach (if you know anything).

Ask the Deans if they have any programs like that.

Answer 7

you need straight As to get that kind of grands.... apply for FAFSA every year, sell your books every semester, start prostituting, get a job at hooters.
