How do I obtain more financial aid from independent scholarships?
I am from an upper middle class family, and because of my income I’m not eligible for need based scholarships. Thanks
As someone who got into a top university but didn’t receive enough financial aid, I’m now facing over $160,000 in student loans. Is it smarter to take the risk and invest in a Business Economics degree, hoping it leads to a stable career, or should I take a more affordable path, even if it means walking away from a school I’ve worked my whole life to reach?
I’m incredibly driven, career-focused, and have poured years into building a future I believe in. I’m an AP Scholar with Distinction, I have all As, I’m a leader in multiple service, finance, and business clubs where I mentor younger students, especially girls, to dream of something bigger than themselves. I captain my varsity basketball and soccer teams. I’ve written pieces that were featured in The New York Times. I’ve volunteered at children’s cafeterias, English centers, and orphanages, supporting and helping marginalized kids, teaching them English and math. I’ve done everything right. But even with all of this, the weight of student loans makes me feel like it might not be enough. I do have a plan: graduate in three years, take summer community college classes, and apply early for internships. I’m not afraid to work hard. But I still wonder: am I building a future, or am I setting myself up for decades of financial stress? For anyone who’s been in my shoes, please, I’d genuinely appreciate your advice. Is it worth taking on this kind of debt for the education and connections, or would you make a different choice if you could go back?

So... what do I do? #Spring25
I am attending a fairly prestigious university this fall and I have confidence it will help me succeed. However, the financial aid I received is not as helpful as I had hoped. Not to toot my own horn, but I've always been a smart kid and it feels much more fitting to me to take on this challenge than to save money at community college because I need to make myself competitive for grad school. I already emailed their financial aid office to ask for a little more help and they gave me the stereotypical "all offers are final" response. I know most private loans are very predatory so if anyone has suggestions on those or any other scholarships to check out please let me know! #Spring25
