Do You Need Money For College Tuition This Year?

By James Thomas


It doesn't matter why you don't have that degree. The fact is, you need it now to allow you to advance your career or to expand your job opportunities. Education is key to getting ahead in the modern work world and you need to get that education.

The truth is, while a few rules may have changed to make it easier for Moms to qualify for financial aid, what's out there is the same stuff that's been out there for years.

Ways that you can reduce or eliminate your need for student loans:1.Take advantage of every scholarship and grant opportunity that you can.2.Cut your school hours back. It may take you a little longer to get your degree but it will shorten your payback time.3.Fill those hours that you cut back with extra employment. Getting a part time job on campus can help you pay for the classes that you do take.

Take advantage of loan any forgiveness programs that you may qualify for. The Federal Government will forgive all or a large portion of your student loans if you agree to work in selected professions or in selected markets after you graduate. This means that you can get the loan but you don't have to pay it back.

FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid can get you on the list of multiple Federal student aid programs. It's a bit tough to fill out, but you only do it once per year to find out which programs that you are eligible for and how much you can get for college.

By filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you will considered for a grant award from any of the Federal Programs that you qualify for, all from a single application.

Remember to be accurate in your application and to file as early as possible. Early filers get first pick of the grant money and are most likely to get the full amount that they are eligible for. Private sector scholarships are also available. One good source for these is your school's financial aid office.
