Comment below: Have you used the student aid estimator and did you find it fairly accurate?

@TiffanyMarcumBelcher Месяц назад

I've never used it

@ty4508 Месяц назад

Yes, it said my parents could afford the whole cost

@ty4508 Месяц назад

I got nothing from financial aid except 5600 loans for a 85000 cost. They said my parents could afford the whole cost. My parents made just over $250k but the 85000 is after taxes money. Basically, they ask my parents to spend more than half for my college. They also said that scholarship is for needed basis as well. I am actually doing some of your options. Deferred payment, take extra class,. I appealed but no luck. I applied over 30 scholarship as well. Now my plan is to borrow 50% loans and the rest is from my parents. I discussed with my parents and I really wanted to attend this school and they support me but I feel bad that the $ can be used for them to be used for their retirement

Too bad you’re not an illegal alien, the government would probably pay for the full tuition,

Glad you found it helpful!

@G1stGBless Год назад

I am a parent who is trying to learn how to get my senior to college debt free or low cost. My student has a great GPA and good test scores but when you were talking about ‘financial match’ schools. Is there a way to connect with you and be able to compensate you for your help for finding a financial match school?

Unfortunately, we don't provide one-on-one services. But, we have Debt Free Degree Lab that might help! thescholarshipsystem.com/debt-free-degree-lab-waitlist/

@lindseeeyylou Год назад

How do you go about finding schools that are a better financial fit? Do you just apply to a variety of schools and see what they offer?

@kamithekid747 Год назад

google schools in your price range local too

@user-zc6mi4zu3s 10 месяцев назад

I only have funding from fasfa for a work study grant but it doesn’t cover my whole tuition and they pay weekly like a normal job and the first payment is due before i even start the work study program. Please help I don’t know how to get the funding to start taking classes or pay my tuition. And I can’t use a payment plan with there work study program

@TheScholarshipSystem 10 месяцев назад

You should contact your school's financial aid office to see what other options you have available. You may need to take out a student loan to fill in the gap.

@Nati_rodd Год назад

what do you recommend for international students, I am not legally allowed any Federal Aid. Please help

@TheScholarshipSystem Год назад

We specialize in working with US students. There are scholarships available for international students, they are just less common. Since this is not our market, we don't want people to be upset if what we share doesn't help in their situation. Until we can put more time into looking into it, we can't back the fact that the tips we share will definitely work for you but they *may* help.

What about the GI bill?

@TheScholarshipSystem Год назад

For those eligible, the GI bill can be a great option. You can find more about it at www.va.gov/education/about-gi-bill-benefits/.

About 18 mos ago I read an article about a college student and her friend who were full time students. Classes Monday-Thursday. They worked InstaCart 8-12hrs a day Friday-Saturday-Sunday. They made $3,000 ea a week end. They picked a well off area to work, focused on clients who tipped well and appreciated the service. Many asked for them so they built a well paying repeat clientele. Obviously not everyone will be this successful, not everyone likes to shop so YMMV.

@TheScholarshipSystem Год назад

That's a great idea!

@TiffanyMarcumBelcher Месяц назад

We never file or ask for one

@kojothaguru 10 месяцев назад

My efc is almost triple what it was last year yet my family income income is only about 10-15% higher than what it was the year before. It just doesn’t make any sense

@TheScholarshipSystem 10 месяцев назад

Double check the application for any typos. Also make sure you did not include the value of your home or retirement accounts in this year's application. If necessary, compare line by line this year's application vs last year's application. The EFC shouldn't have changed that drastically.
