Faith B asked:


I’m over the minimum age to live in the dorms, but I would like to live in one of the apartments on campus. Will my financial aid help cover the expense if it’s university owned? If so, how much?

Curious asked:


Lousy job market has forced me to go back to school for something more marketable. Have been on unemployment for several months. Soon I will start back to college and will be receiving federal financial aid for it. Do I have to report this to the unemployment office as income? I live in PA if that helps.

I was thinking of going to graduate school for fashion in London, do they offer financial aid to Americans? Are they stingy like us? Over here if someone writes that they are making $50,000 per year on the FAFSA, they get squat for school. Is it the same over there?

rivera573344 asked:


Basically, with my financial aid refund (leftovers after tuiton), I had roughly $3,000 which I then used to replace my PoS car and bought a used car. This was last year (2008) do I have to do anything when filing my taxes this year?

Refund was provided to me via check and I was told I could do whatever I wanted w/ it including living expenses. Do I have to include this in this years tax return, and how?

tythegemini asked:


The reason I ask is because it takes so long for my financial aid officer to respond when I try to contact her and I want to take care of this myself. If i can do it without them how do i go about it.

Unknown asked:


Now I don’t have a high school diploma or an GED, Im 19 planning to go to college take Adult High School/GED program, it is possible for me to receive financial aid?

temitopeowosela asked:


Will financial aid cover your personal expenses for school? For example computers, personal hygiene, and other important stuff for students.

Brandon D asked:


I have financial aid and get an “account” every semester filled with money for books, classes, tuition, etc. Whatever I don’t use gets sent to me by check and is mine to deposit. Do I have to pay this back?

Richard E asked:


I know that you can not get financial aid unless you are 24, or have no contact with your parents – My question is how do you show that you have no contact with your parents?? AND for how long [ since you last had contact with them] does it have to be??

Andarra R asked:


My family has very little money. My mother is sick all the time and she only works twice a month. My mother’s boyfriend tries to help out however he doesn’t have enough. We are on every kind of financial aid plan they have so I am currently a senior in high school only 16 years old and I will be 17 on December 31 this year. I have been thinking about colleges and every college I looked at is expensive. The financial aid probably won’t even be enough. I wanna major in English so I can write children’s books. I want to be an author. Anyway I live in New Jersey but I don’t want to stay close to home. I don’t want my mom to always worry about me. I want her to know that I can manage on my own. The farthest I will go is to New York state or Pennslyvania. But we don’t have the money I need ways of getting in to good colleges that are not too expensive. I don’t want to go to a community school because it shows that I can’t live alone. Because I will have to live with my mom. What should I do?
