When you get your aid reward back, you will be awarded a select amount of money. If that isn’t enough, your parents can apply for another award. If they get denied, you automatically get an extra $4000 for the year. Add this amount to your aid reward, and you should have enough to pay for school and books. You could also go on collegeboard.com and search for scholarships. Millions of dollars are not used each year because students dont apply for the awards. If you don’t get a scholarship, and the extra $4000 isn’t enough to pay for your education, then your school is more than likely to award you with a pell grant, that you will not have to pay back. It goes by your financial need so if you really can’t afford college, then you will get the grant. Everyone has an opportunity to go to college if they really want to. Don’t worry. I hope I helped you.
If grants and student loans dont cover it you can contact a bank or better yet a credit union to see if they have low interest student loans. You may have to go with an unsecured personal loan <(bad idea IMHO) Other than that I don’t know. I always worked full time through school.
Most state schools and community colleges can be attended using federal grants and loans. If the school is more expensive than what your award letter is giving you, then you need to find a better school. Private student loans are evil and should NEVER be taken out. Federal loans are better and have better terms and rates.
This book will show you how much you can take out in federal student loans.
