Who denied financial aid?  If you don't know where you're going to school let you can't have applied for financial aid from the SCHOOL.  Most schools provide some amount of financial aid.  Beyond that, loans and grants are pretty much it.  If you go to a state school in whatever state you live in tuition will be a lot less, too.

If you have already received $2625 in Federal Stafford Loan funding, you aren't eligible for any more this year.\n\nNote: if (a) you are independent [officially, as determined by your FAFSA and/or your school] or (b) your parents were denied a PLUS loan, you can receive another $4000 in Unsub Stafford as a Freshman.\n\nYou might be eligible for a Federal Perkins Loan (if you demonstrate financial need).  Perkins Loans are administered by your school and it us up to them to decide if you will receive one.\n\nBeyond that, you could apply for a private loan.  It can be hard to obtain private loan funding as a Freshman, particularly if you don't have a co-signer.  Do you have credit?  If so, you might be eligible for any number of private loans.

Ok this is when you go to the financial aid office and request a meeting or request an appeal with FAFSA. The best way to go about this is to speak with the head of your financial aid department and find out the procedure for your individual school. I am a college student and have gone through similar situations in the past. Just walk into your schools financial aid department and tell them your situation.

In the US fill out your FAFSA form to find out, you will more than likely be able to get a loan, but it won't be great.\n\n\nwww.fafsa.gov

Apply for a gsl (guarnteed student loan)\n\nIt's not a crazy amount of money but it helps if you want to do work study too, some of the money comes out towards your loans and some goes cash in hand\n\nTheir are always loopholes around it, My parents didn't have the credit either and I went to financial aid office and they sent me in the right direction and my loans were in my name without a cosigner....Don't know if that helps but goodluck to ya

You should be able to talk to your financial aid rep at school and look for additional funding. I am just finishing school and I was able to do many things like that to help pay for textbooks, etc. The school by law is supposed to return any unused financial aid to you unless you tell them you don't want it returned to you so I have never had trouble getting enough to cover all necessary expenses.

My parents didn't help me. first i went to a junior college and financial aid paid for some of it, i got a job at the school but mostly i borrowed money- loans. Now i go to a community college and it's about 2,200 per semester plus about 400 for books, lucky me financial aid and tap pays for it. Maybe it's too late to apply for a scholarship but not for grants, try getting your GPA up and try to get a scholarship for the next semester. Or get a job to help you out. But one thing is for sure, education is important and you can always pay you're loans back after you graduate and if you don't find a job after wards they will defer (meaning you don't have to pay it) until you get a job. So i say, go to school.

Go To www.fasfa.com   \n\nalso try your financial aid office at the college you want to attend. There are so many scholarships out there and other types of assistance, sometimes you can work at the school and receive assistance so you don't have to pay it back.

I went to community college on complete financial aid - they even paid for my books, a very expensive calculator for a calculus class one year, plus I got around a $200 check every year for "living expenses"  It all depends on your individual situation though.\n\nIt depends on your income - they will consider both YOU and YOUR PARENTS' income on the form (regardless if you live with them or not) until you are 23 years old. (I know, not fair - especially if you are financially independent from your parents)\n\nAll schools have a financial aid advisor that is willing to answer any and all of your questions about financial aid.\n\nBTW - don't let the cost of college be the deciding factor on whether you go or not.  It will pay off in the long run if you do decide to go - that degree is worth more than you might think.  Plus, many community colleges have special transfer programs that make the transition from a two year to a four year college much much easier.\n\nGood luck!

Not many people are deny for financial aid. You should be ok, the problem that many people have with getting financial aid is when they or their parents have a lot of savings in the bank. When my friends and I were going through filling out FAFSA forms, my friend's parents didn't make a lot of money but they had no mortgage just every day bills and they didn't spend a lot so it went into their savings one of my friends parents had over $85,000 in their savings. She didn't get any financial aid can you understand why? $85,000 11 years paid for college 2 times over.

It depend on your legal status.  If you are here legally, you can apply for federal grants and loans.  If you are not, you will be limited to private Scholarships that set their own rules.  Some do not care about your status, others require you to be a U.S. Citizen.  Speak to the Fin Aid office at the local community college or State University.  They should be able to steer you in the right direction.\n\nGood Luck :)

Don't be depressed -- there are a lot of students in your position who manage to finance their education without grant aid and still achieve success professionally and financially.  You can take out a private loan (focus on private *educational* loans) to cover your educational costs.  If you have someone who is willing to co-sign for you, all the better!  Typically, having a creditworthy co-signer will help you get a lower rate than if you apply on your own.  There are plenty of loans out there that don't require you to have a job history (and, again, even if they do have more stringent criteria, you will generally be OK if you apply with a co-signer who fits those criteria).\n\nFor a list of private education loans, check out www.finaid.org, here:  http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml\n\nOf all of these loans, take a look at Sallie Mae's Signature Loan, which is the most popular private educational loan product out there.  In fact, I don't believe that Sallie Mae has a job history requirement (so this might be perfect for you, particularly since SLMA offers interest rate incentives for students who apply with cosigners).  Citibank is the second largest lender after them and they require either income OR a good credit history.\n\nIs this year-long program done by semester?  If so, most schools will want you to pay once per semester (2x per year), but it will vary.  Check their website or give them a call.  \n\nEDIT: Most lenders will require your school to certify your loan application, at which time they will certify that you are not borrowing more than is allowed.  Usually the maximum that your school will allow you to borrow is based on your overall educational costs -- which typically include tuition, room/board, books/supplies, transportation and and fees (though it is up to the school to decide what they are willing to include).

Every college has a financial aid dept. Your best bet is to go to the college or university of your choice and talk to the financial aid advisor. There are so many ways to get aid. Also look into certificates instead of degrees, they are a fast way to get a good job making good money.

All you can do is just sign up for everything...loans, scholarships and grants.  The financial aid office should have info on everything available...just ask!

There is so much finacial aid available to students these days it is ridiculous. You should check out sites like salliemae.com for loan info or fastweb.com for scholarships that are nationally available or even school specific scholarships are available for viewing at fastweb. I have to say though, there is nothing wrong with getting an associates degree (or a good GPA) from a community college and then going on to a University. That's what I did and my tuition is usually paid for with free money (some loans though will be necessary as nothing good is free!) You should also start calling the schools you are interested in and ask them if you can talk to a finacial aid advisor. Hope this helps!!!

You can talk with your university about getting a computer loan. I had several friends that got their computers this way and didn't have to pay back the loan until they graduated.

Go to your financial aid office and ask them what to do.  Just remember that grants don't have to be paid back so you can always keep the money for a rainy day.  They usually send you an award letter telling you how much money financial aid will give you and on there you can either refuse or accept the award. If you want to return the money so that they can probably give to another student its probably too late for that since they already disbursed the money and another student wont be able to benefit from it.  You can always donate it to a scholarship fund to ensure that another student is receiving the money.
