There are also schools who are committed to meeting full financial need with no loans, meaning they use their institutional aid, government grants, and scholarships to make sure you don't pay more than your family can reasonably afford These schools tend to be more competitive but it's worth a shot! wwwusnewscom/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/articles/2018-09-18/18-schools-that-meet-full-financial-need-with-no-loans

Honestly, biggest problem with scholarships is that I fall into what I call 'the middle zone' I don't qualify for need based ones since my parents make too much (even tho my efc is non-existent) and I don't stand out on academic and essay based ones just because I got a B once Plus, I am white, not the first to go to college in my family, am not associated with the military, and not disabled, so it takes out those scholarships

I learned about Fasfa from research and an advisor as was just never mentioned as an option It was definitely a mission and a half to figure out how to how to fill it out especially when needed my parents information, having to prove I'm independent and not getting help from them was a task in itself but now I'm an expert and adult no longer needing that information So I use this knowledge to help my husband so he can have help paying for college this is something I think most should fill out It's a need
Comment from : Kitsune Fyuu

what if someone recieves little to no aid from fafsa bc on paper there is more than what is the reality????
Comment from : Willard Emily

Don't i wish this video had existed when i was getting ready to go to college 4 years ago I didn't get much of anything from my fafsa, despite my parents+myself being quite poor, and i had no clue how i could come up with the massive remaining sum i had to pay, given that neither i nor my parents had very good credit for a loan So i just gave up on going to the schools i got into

Don't forget about National Merit, AKA the automatic full ride! This is how I got a scholarship that pays full tuition for my bachelor's AND master's degrees, my housing, my meal plan, helps with textbooks, and is even paying for me to study abroad!!!brThis is one thing I've never seen mentioned on a college scholarships video; if you attend a public high school (if you don't, talk to your guidance counselor) in the United States, you will take a test called the PSAT/NMSQT in the Fall of your Junior year Your school might tell you that it's just to prepare for the SAT, but don't be fooled, it could easily be the most important test of your life Every year, the top 1 of scorers on that test, about 16,000 students every year, are named National Merit Semifinalists From there, most will become finalists (don't worry about the exact term, that'll take care of itself) Once you are a finalist, you will have an automatic full-ride offer from over 25 well-known schools, and other massive scholarship offers from dozens and dozens more While 1 may seem rare, most of the students who get this designation don't realize that they have full-ride offers So, if you're a high-achieving student and a good test-taker, study study study for your PSAT! You could win the college scholarship lottery!!!

Can you do financing strategies for International Students? I got into a great school and I can't afford it :')
Comment from : Dora Tarani

The thing which saved me ten of thousands of dollars for college were CLEP and Dantes (DSST) tests Cost roughly $100 a test and if you pass the test you get three college credits These are accepted at thousands of colleges across the nation and offered in dozens of different subjects and areas Great way to knock out your general education requirements Shocked more people don't take advantage of these

Or do like I did, join the military as a child, colonize another country for a couple years, get blown up and called a hero for pointing guns at women and children, spend the next ten years figuring out new reasons not to kill yourself, meet a partner who has the mental bandwidth to attend college, transfer your benefits to them, stick it out long enough for them to achieve their educational dreams debt free, maybe off yourself later

Comment from : pernus

The loan system in the US sounds so shady In Australia, we only start paying back the loan as part of the tax taken out of our income, so it never exceeds some small percentage of the money you earn Get a good job, it will pay itself off even faster Get no job, you never get penalised for not paying it back

Here is some information I would like to add as a first-generation student Please take this as a brief guide than a concrete wording as policies can change:brbrFAFSA , AP Courses, and the Pell GrantbrIf you're looking into college as an undergrad and you are worried about funding please look into your local community colleges first Through FAFSA, you can get the Federal Pell Grant which can provide a financial aid amount that often will cover tuition for community colleges and give you some money left over to buy supplies you may need I saved massive amounts in loans compared to other collegues I knew who went to a private for the same level of a degree Community colleges are a really awesome place to get your footing, check for scholarships, and you can see their transfer programs to other colleges if they do not have your degree I did a transfer program which ensured my credits transfered based on their articulation agreement, and minimized my tuition payments in the long run for my Bachelors brbrIf youre going to do an AP course, make sure it transfers to the school you want to go to before going through the effort Some schools also give the option to do dual-enrollment, which I personally suggest more as you are directly getting college credits that have brbrConcerning filing out the FAFSA if you need Remember that FAFSA is free to apply, and to ask your Financial Office for deeper and up to date information if you are having issues filling it out Generally if you are not working you can be claimed by your parents as a dependent, and their tax info would go into FAFSA If you are, check Publication 501 on the IRS website to see the amount you can make before you have to file as independent, thus requiring you to put your taxes in for FAFSA (For Law School, which I am doing right now, you will need to file as independent by that point ) Again, you should visit the Financial Office just for a meeting to make sure everything is filled out! Visiting school departments can save a lot of headaches you would have if you had to try and call or email them to explain issues you come across brbrFor more information, FAFSA gov has a guide to Federal Pell Grants brIf you have not yet, I suggest just having a folder just for organizing your financial aid documents and your credit progress brbrScholarshipsbrYou can check FastWeb, Scholarships, among others to see what is available DoSomething is great if you are just graduating and have a passion for current issues I got $1k doing one of their surveys on why voting is important as an example brbrCheck your local library! There is a variety of community scholarships available, espeically for STEM majors They may have the "The Ultimate Scholarship Guidebook" by Gen and Kelly Tanabe If they don't you may be able to request it or get it via interlibrary loan That book in particular has a great introduction I think most people should read before starting their search, and they have categories of scholarships that go from background to major focuses brbrAttending College Without a MajorbrbrIf you can attend a college with the Pell Grant paying for it I definitely would give it a try Most of the students I went to class with were unsure what they wanted to do when pursuing their Associates and Bachelors Even when I transfered to what would be seen as an Ivy School people had the same challenges It is fully alright to attend college when you are not 100 set with a major in mind You will have enough elective slots+ the core classes to get new perspectives and ideas to help you figure out what makes you happy and what you want to do for a career Many colleges have career prep and graduate prep for that reason, and you should set up appointments with them to help you learn what track you may want to do I have known people who switch from a JD to a History PhD and people who go from Mathematics as a BA and go to a JD not in Tax Law The BA/BS is there to really help you figure out those long term questions, and it really is an exciting experience Trade schools are also of course a great option that some community colleges offer, such as welding or automotive brbrI am wanting to make a video on this since I did make actual guide on this before with a timeline, so I will probably make that soonbrI hope this helps for anyone readings and this was a great video as it is difficult to have discussions about this topic without getting a bit lost in the weeds

how to pay for college: have parents who can pay for it 🥲👍
Comment from : coststeam02

-Use the FREE career services in the university to learn exactly who you can work for with your degreebr-Look into scholarships at your high school too, and even some related to your town/city The "unique marginal group" type of scholarships are everywhere, especially ones related to women in engineeringbr-Get internships that are related to your field in the summers between semesters If your college is good, they would have a "co-op" program, where the university partners with companies to help send its students there multiple semesters in a row You graduate with work experience, and you literally pay for your tuition while you're in school

How much does FAFSA gives in all?
Comment from : Community Service

Don't forget that some trades/2 year programs not only lead to credits that transfer into 4 programs but also can lead to certifications that can result in higher paying part-time jobs I did that My niece got a med tech license before going into nursing and my son got an accounting certification before going into business Both graduated debt free and, thanks to experience, with a job

Is there going to be an episode on student housing options? ( types of dorms, fraternities and sororities, etc?) as well as all the “living” that occurs outside the classroom( what if I get hurt or sick and need medical attention? Meal plans?)
Comment from : zac scalafini

Most of the degrees are a scam and the admins know it Please, do not go for a degree unless you know what you want and in order to get it, you NEED a diploma

This is very basic info that everyone should already know But very useful for those who have no idea where to start so thank uou
Comment from : ToxicPickle

You didn't mention why people struggle to fill out FAFSA Students don't magically have access to all the information it requires Really sucks when you're dependent on other people to share information with you in order to qualify

Wow, US College is a total scambrI'm in a 2 year AME program I pay $1800 tuition and $3500 for residence Zero internet fees, zero building maintenance fees, zero health care fees, zero every other fee you can think of save for what I spend for the food I eat and the gas I buy And I have companies lined up outside the campus handing out leaflets to students 18 months before they graduate 100 of my graduating class had job offers in the aviation industry 8 months prior to graduationbrbrIf you're not getting that in the USA, you need to move to another country
