My cousin wants to move down to Virginia from up north, and wants to go to a school called Tidewater Community College. Of course the school doesn't have on-campus housing. Are there any scholarships/grants/loans out there that can assist with housing for a student that can't live on campus?

Cost of living expenses can only be paid for with loans and grants if the college includes cost of living into their total cost of attendence. Usually undergraduate and community colleges do NOT include cost of living into their total cost of attendence unless you are living on campus. I doubt your cousin would be able to get loans for housing expenses.

The whole point of community college is to go someplace near you so you can live at home, where you currently live. She might want to stay where she is and go to community college there, then transfer to a 4 year university in Virginia.

I used to live in the area of Tidewater Community College, it's not special and there is nothing about it that should make her go there instead of another community college.

Cost of living is somewhat taken into consideration when the amount is figured for federal loans. However, since there is no on campus housing, this may not happen. There are many places your cousin can get a private student loan to help out with these expenses, and some that do not require immediate repayment ( I got mine through TERI, and did not have to make payments until after graduation, whereas the one I got from Citibank I did).

First fill out the FASFA form it can be found on the web. This is a basic form for students going to college and qualifies a student for all types of financial aid except scholarships. Although the school does not have its own housing the cost of your rent is included in your overall educational expense and thus increases aid/loans/etc a you are entitled to.

Also call the school and ask what other students in the same situation do. They probably have a informal housing system set up.

Good Luck

First of all, let us have a basic understanding regarding the word equity. Actually, t he word equity implies the current market value of a home minus the outstanding mortgage balance amount of money. Suppose the market value of your home is £200,000 and you owe £70,000 on your mortgage, then you will easily have £130,000 equity available on your home. Now, with the help of this equity, you can easily apply for a good amount of loan.
