What is the average received for finanical aid? |
I got $2thousand and around two hundred (that after tutions is taking out). Is that a little less then average. I am taking 5 classes (21 cr), renting,food, and on my own. Hi! I couldn't send you a message before, but congrats on your graduation, I was thinking of you! As for financial aid, this is about the average you get at a community college after tuition and fees are taken out. But since you are on your own, this probably isn't cutting it, right? You can request loans, or look for scholarships (there are tons of them and are not really all that hard to get, if you just try). If you look into work study, it is usually something like working in the bookstore and it only pays about minimum wage, but the plus is that they are more sensitive to your school load rather than a regular part time job who might not care about your other commitments. But the outside job could pay more. Are you getting any help for living expenses from your family? I didn't really have any help either so I worked full time (in an office, it pays better) and then went to school at night full time(12 units is full time). It took me longer, and I flaked at times and took a year or two off here and there, but I got it done (BA in English lit, 2007) and am applying to law schools soon (Ok, being lazy and taking 1 more year off before starting). So if you have to provide all for yourself, you might need to reprioritize and scale back on the work load a little (5 classes is alot the frist semester) and concentrate on having a safe, secure place to stay first. It's ok if it takes a little longer over all, you'll get there if you just stick with it. We all weren't born with trust funds and able to party our way through college, I say it builds charachter and strength to be able to get through hardships and still make it through. Also, regarding your law school question (in another question), being a double major helps, but you don't have to decide your major until the end of softmore year, so don't stress about it too hard yet. Spend your freshman year getting aquanted with the system, it is way different than high school. And get a feel for what really intrests you before you decide for sure, and learn what the degree could lead to (especially if you decide to do law school, but end up not going or not finishing, not that you won't or can't, but is is very hard and not everyone can do it, {I'm getting nervous myself}). And again, don't over do your course load and end up doing bad overall or getting burnt out too soon. Getting into any graduate program requires a 3.00 minimum GPA and that really gets jepordized with just one bad grade, so do what you can do well on, don't cram it all in to get it done faster and do worse. As for the cost of law school, well, try to get as many grants as possible for your 4 year degree so that you can graduate without loans, cuz law school is expensive and there are far fewer grants and other "free money" for that. But they will loan you all you want to get through it, but of course that is banked on your future earning potential and you have to pay it back no matter what (you can't bankrupt away school loans like you can other loans). Try to stick to an in state school to lower costs and apply to all and see what kind of financal aid package they will give you along with there overall desireability, before deciding which one to go to. (same thing when you are looking to transfer from the community college to a university) And look into it early, you need to do the LSAT and other applications at least a year before you plan to transfer (the other reason why I am waiting a year before starting law school, I didn't start till Feb and am late for everything!) Good Luck! You mean from the government? Through FAFSA? Cause i got nothing. I have to take out loans for 100% of my school. I live on my own in a townhouse and im going part time. Student aid is based on your previous last two income tax filings. The poorer your household was, the more potential loan. The maximum total is $44,000. Any refunds above tuition costs that you cash is counted as income and has to be reported on that year's income tax filing. |
