Financial Aid?

[nmam2116]

I'm looking at colleges since I'll have to apply in the fall. At first I thought that financial aid was only for those who need assistance, such as those who can not afford college. Then I heard that financial aid is also scholarships, which of course, I would like to recieve information from the school on. Should I check the box for finanical aid if I want a scholarship but can afford college?

Depending on how old you are, you could go ahead and apply for Financial Aid. If you are or will be 18 when you enter college, you can try applying. I would call your school that you are interested in, ask to speak to a financial administrator, and see what they would recommend. Each school is different. Good luck and congratulations!!

Fill out the financial aid application. It can make you eligible for work study and other ways to finance your education. Remember the loans are much lower interest than from other sources. If you are the first generation going to college, there is quite a bit out there to help you. It can only help you get the funds necessary. I went back to school after 25+ years and was eligible for Pell grants, work study, student loans (subsidized and not). I got my BA in 2004, and my MA this last May. I was able to focus on my courses and not worry about working one or two "crappy" jobs and trying to get my course work done. The debt is worth the result. I graduated with a 3.78 average.
