Does Anyone have any advice on getting scholarships?
I'm already a freshman in College but might not be able to finish because my family and I don't make enough money to support me enough to finish. I'm worried that I won't be able to continue my education at this rate and feel like I am not that good compared to the rest of the competition out there. #money #scholarships #college #financial-aid
Define "Financial Need"
In regards to scholarship applications can you please define "financial need". I don't want to waste my time applying for scholarships that I don't qualify for. However, I cannot find the exact number that defines financial need. I come from a one income household with an EFC if $15k, and I do not have money available to pay for my education, so in my opinion I have a financial need. I have read a few places that if I don't qualify for the Pell Grant then I don't have a financial need. So if that is the case , am I wasting my time applying for scholarships that require a financial need? Help please, this is really hard to figure out. #scholarships #financial-aid #college #finance
Is the process to be able to be considered "in-state" be easier for DACA students?

Will school tuition be less in the future?
School has become a business here in the US. I have seen other countries and University tuition is not high. They want people to go to school and be educated.

I was accepted to a university that was my first choice on my list, but it is also the most expensive, should I accepted anyway and worry about cost later?
The university I was accepted to has a very good criminology department. Most colleges the first 2 years you take the basics than in the last 2 you do your major. But with this college, they start you out immediately with your major. My problem is they were also the most expensive one on my list. I am being raised by my grandmother who does not have the money to help with the cost. Yes, I qualified for financial aid. Haven't been awarded any scholarship yet. I'm worried I will never be able to afford to pay to go to this college, even though I really want to, torn on what to do and how to go about it. #money #solution #college #financial-planning #financial-aid
