What ways other than loans, FASFA, and scholarships can I obtain more money for school?
All I want to do is change the world and better my future. I won't be able to do that the way that I want if I can't complete school. #money

You can get a job, side hustle, or start side business on campus. You can also ask for more money, apply for grants, sell some things, donate plasma, perform on the street, etc.

Talk to your school about work-study opportunities. Get a job, or sign-up for TaskRabbit, DoorDash, etc. Talk to your family and friends and see if anyone needs any small jobs or services done that they would pay you to do. If you choose the employer-job option, seek out companies that offer benefits like education reimbursement; I believe McDonalds does.

Hi Diamond,
There are numerous jobs on campus that one can work at. For instance, front desk helpers are needed in the dormitories. As a front desk helper, one will check residents in, handle incoming mail, answer phones, etc. In the slow periods, the front desk helper can get homework done, write papers and study for upcoming exams. Another recommendation is to work at the front desk at the campus student center.
There are companies that offer educational benefits. Meaning, the company will reimburse you on a semester basis for the tuition that you paid for. Requirements: The college courses have to be job related and one has to have a passing grade. Educational benefits differ from company to company. It is best to check with the Human Resources department for specific information and requirements for educational benefits.
Another avenue to generate income is to become a tutor. Tutors are always needed at all grade levels, especially in the core classes during the Junior and Senior years in college. You can set your own hours, amount charged per hour and the number of tutoring sessions offered per week. Tutoring will help other students in need to understand and grasp the course material. In addition, tutoring will reinforce your knowledge base of the subject material and show others that you are a subject matter expert (SME).
Hope this helps and best wishes for your education!
