I don't think that's a fair statement...most colleges provide free seminars for parents and prospective students regarding the types of financial aid and loans that are available. No one in my family had gone to college prior to me and I only ended up paying about $5,000 total for my first three and a half years of school and my big bill came from taking loans out to go to grad school.

Thats pretty impressive considering where you went

You comin' to homecoming?

I didn't say everyone, thats why I said "Usually"

my whole thing isn't with successful people, just those who don't work for it. I understand there are people who work there asses off for it and they DO deserve it. I'm not trying to take away from those who do at all. And actually I am starting to finally get some shit back together and get back to school now that it's a little easier with the loans.

usually huh? sounds like an excuse to me.

I went 5 years, two degrees and my first four years were full ride, including room and board. I had 13 grants/scholarships each year until I was considered a "grad student", so I had to pay for the fifth. There's enough aid out there for anyone, you just have to know how to look for it and apply yourself. It also helps if you're smart.

My sister did a smart thing. She moved to Florida for a year and then got her whole 4 years of schooling paid for.

Did you have to do anything for the aid? Essays and things like that.
Just wondering. I could use a little more help but I'm not sure where to look. All I know of are the contests and AES/FASFA.

Yea, I did a few contests and essay type things. I was eligible for a lot of them throu FAFSA. I'd just suggest really looking into what the school offers. I know I picked up a lot from Kent itself, they were just ones that no one knew about. Most schools tend to have a book that has a list of all the scholarships & grants they offer - I signed up for every one that I was eligible for.

There's a lot of weird private & federal ones too. Like I know there's some kind of federal grant for left handed people.

Thanks, I look in to them and the book. I remember that guy on TV that use to scream about all of the possible grants and loans. He wore the suit with the question marks all over it. I never gave it any credit though.
