I need a scholarship or some extra money for school. What is some good advice or a credit card that is easy to get?
I have gotten some loans but I have fallen behind on bills are there any other ways to get more loans or help?

You may also want to look at jobs at your university. Many schools offer great work study programs which offer more flexibility in working hours to accommodate your school schedule.
Personally I had great success working with student housing as I also got a steep discount on my rent!

If you're an undergraduate student and you've already taken out student loans, you are eligible for deferment of your loans (meaning that you are not required to pay your loans until you graduate and the 6 month grace period is over), consider going to the website of your loan provider to learn more about that. As for "extra money" if you haven't already you can fill out the FAFSA (i'ts free), based on your elligibility with the amount of income you or your parents make, you can receive grants (like the pell grants), scholarships, and/or loans. Also consider applying for scholarships on these websites: CollegeBoard, Niche, ScholarshipOwl, Bold.org. If you are an undergraduate as well, I'd consider applying for the Discover Student credit card to help pay some of your tuition and to help build your credit even more. Here is the link: https://www.discover.com/products/student-it.html?sc=RJQS&iq_id=r43700079715368965&cmpgnid=ps-dca-google-student-brand-studentcard&source=PSGOOGLE&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MG5BhD1ARIsAEcZtwRbaPFhuU8RkZbXBO3LiO6npsRRuFmyfuCCumrlH4p-488qjcsz7zsaAnjjEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds.
I hope this information helps you out.

Look for as many local or niche scholarships as you can. Many scholarships don’t get a lot of applicants because they don’t apply to everyone. Check out scholarships from local colleges or your town; that’s where I got most of my extra money. Also, consider easy-to-use credit cards like the Discover Student Cash Back, Capital One Student Card, or Bank of America Travel Rewards Credit Card for Students. These can be really helpful if you pay them on time and keep your spending in check. You’ve got this!
