WHEN SCHOLARSHIPS AREN’T ENOUGH
Sometimes, scholarships just don’t give you all the money that you need for college even if you win several partial scholarships. Usually, partial scholarships are great for things like books and room and board costs but don’t really make a significant dent in tuition costs. Full scholarships are great, but can be very difficult to get.
So if you find yourself with several partial scholarships but not much else, can you still go to college? Of course you can! You just need to get creative about finding the rest of the money. If your parents can’t help you, or your parents aren’t willing to take out a PLUS loan then check with other family members.
Did your grandparents buy you some bonds when you were born that you can get money from? Is there a college fund that was set up for you by a rich aunt? Are there any inheritances or other significant amounts of money waiting for you? Find out. You may have the money for college in a trust and not even know about it.
Financial aid is how most people pay for college these days. Figuring out the different types of financial aid, the eligibility requirements, repayment options, and other ins and outs of financial aid can be very confusing.
If you’re the parent of a high school student getting ready for college, or an older student who has never been through the financial aid process before, you might want to meet with a financial aid counselor at the school you want to attend. A financial aid counselor is trained to help you understand the different kinds of financial aid available and how to get it.
Financial aid is determined by financial need. The Federal government will consider the cost of the school that you want to attend plus fees and living costs and will deduct an amount of money called the Expected Family Contribution, which is the money they think that your family can contribute. What’s left is considered your financial need and you will receive a financial aid package to cover that amount of money.
If your family cannot contribute anything to your education you will need to document that before you can receive a financial aid package so make sure that you have copies of your parents’ financial records to include with your financial aid application.
