If you are a student then you know about FAFSA and how it may allow you to take out federal loans, subsidized loans, as well as grants and work study. There are other types of loans but the best form of loan is federal because you do not need to make payments and the loan does not gain interest while you are in school. Pell grants are also fantastic.
Anyways what I have found is that if your family is poor you are actually going to be in a financially better situation than if your family were rich. Also the more siblings the better. Mark down you have like thirty.
I personally have not looked up the laws on the topic and I am primarily looking to hear from you to gain more knowledge on grants and the potential loop holes for current students like me struggling to afford living on their own for the first time and for students about to enter the arena.
Good Post!

Have you ever heard the words feed, rss, or google reader? Honestly, I had no idea what those things were until my social networking class. My professor, Kenley Neufeld shared a very useful video with us which easily explains these terms. Basically, readers such as google reader allow blog posts to come to something that looks like an email inbox, but is just for blogs. I use google reader, but there are other options. On my blog, if you want to subscribe, just click the orange lines that say subscribe- and then, my blog will automatically come to your inbox, and you won't have to remember to check it. Easy.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of them. Since this is my first online endeavor really I have not learned them. Hell I don't know what they are all I know is that I have heard of them.
