Re: Paying for College
there are ton of local scholarships...if you are paying for yourself you become in the category for finical need base....there are tons of scholarships more that you can get.. check w/ your guidance office...at my school there was a whole bin and booklet. and look on the web at fastweb.com ..some ppl got great stuff using that...
and make sure on your college application you say you are dependent if you are paying for yourself. the college will consider that, put you in the pool of money..but act fast..apply for the schools at the first deadline if possible... if you want to go the that particular school..i say early action...first ones apply..first ones get the money
also w/ some schools..you can do work study programs..those are great...they help pay for college while you study and work a part time job to earn money for yourself
FAS HA like everyone said before... it starts in January. You have to complete that.
here's just some more advise..I've learned through people: when and doubt just apply for things.... and i recommend if you haven't already get your teacher/mentor recommendations..don't wait till everyone is asking... and make copies so you won't have to keep asking for them... and make sure you read if your HS transcript is necessary or not.... it is very important..
Good luck on this adventure...it's always hard to find money. and i hope you get into the college of your choice.
