What are some creative, yet realistic ways to finance a college education?
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010I recently started a family and, as a result, had to postpone my college education. However, by having a young family, I have found that the financial flexibility I once had is now gone. So, I seem to be in a quandry.

What are some ways to finance college completely on your own?
Friday, June 18th, 2010My parents, who combined make about 0,000 annually, suddenly decided to stop paying for my college education. This means I don’t qualify for any need-based financial aid, so I didn’t bother filling out a FAFSA this year. I go to UCLA (and currently commute there), so I pay about 00 for tuition, 0 for books, 0 for parking, and maybe 0 for gas a quarter, not including miscellaneous expenses. I really wanted a double major in biology and geology, but I can see that dream crushed, as I don’t have enough money to pay for the extra units.
Is there some way that I can loan out enough money to keep me going for the next three years? Is it a good idea to become a part-time student and work like crazy to pay off my loans? I’m so lost and confused.
This problem keeps me awake at night. Thanks for any and all replies.
Financing college?
Monday, June 14th, 2010I dropped out of baylor university after i realized the loans were ridiuclous, but with no money and no help from the parents, I also understand that the only way to get a college education is through some sort of loan(s).
My position is this, 52 hours…transferring by the spring. My GPA is credible at 3.0 and i’ve mastered calculus etc with a B.
However, the my downfall is the money issue. I’ve got none. I’m working 40 hours a week as i’m taking this semester off to try and transfer. I’m looking at missouri, michigan state, syracuse (probalby too much), and oklahoma state.
anyhow, applying to fasfa, will they provide all the loans i need to get through it or will i have to go through someone else? I really have no idea how to do this, or what loans i’m going to need, since i’m out of state etc…any advice/help/recs would be greatly* appreciated.
thanks, aaron.
