Financial
Aid for College – Alternate Sources
This
is our third and final article regarding financial aid for
college. As a recap - our first article centered on Federal
Financial Aid, which includes grants and student loans. Our
second article focused on the myriad of scholarships that
are available. This article will focus on filling in the
gaps in your financial aid package and discussing alternates
for the relatively few students who don’t qualify for
financial aid or scholarships.
Whether you qualify for Federal Financial Aid, every college
student should complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) for each year they plan to attend college.
Even if you don’t qualify for any financial aid,
this form will help you locate and organize your finances.
70% of students who apply qualify for some sort of aid,
whether it comes in the form of grants or loans. Some students
don’t get financial aid because they don’t
apply on time, or don’t apply at all! Don’t
let that happen to you.
Let’s say for example you don’t qualify for
any form of federal financial aid and you don’t earn
any scholarships. How can you attend college then? If this
rare situation applies to you, it means you, or your family
make too much money! Look to your family first to help
you in school. You can attempt to persuade them to give
you the money, or even propose a loan with them, where
you pay them back after you finish school.
If, for some reason, you can’t borrow the money
from your family, try...

Joke
of the Month – You could be an out of work
mime... |

One
day an out of work mime was visiting the
zoo, where he attempted to earn some money
as a street performer. Unfortunately, as
soon as he started to draw a crowd, a zoo
keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his
office.
The
zookeeper explained to the mime that the zoo's
most popular attraction, a gorilla named Sparky,
had died suddenly and the keeper was worried that
attendance at the zoo would fall off without him.
The zookeeper offered the mime a job to dress up
as Sparky until they could get a new gorilla. The
mime accepted.
The
next morning, the mime put on a gorilla suit
and entered the cage before the crowd arrived.
He discovered that it was a great job! He
could sleep all he wanted, play and make
fun of people and he was drawing bigger crowds
than he ever did as a mime.
However,
eventually the crowds tired of him, and he
was getting bored just swinging on tires.
He began to notice that the people were paying
more attention to the lion in the cage next
to his. Not wanting to lose the attention
of his audience, he climbed to the top of
his cage, crawled across a partition, and
dangled from the top over the lion's cage.
Of course, this made the lion furious, but
the crowd loved it. At the end of the day
the zoo keeper was thrilled, and even gave
the mime a raise for being such a good attraction.
This
went on for some time, the mime kept taunting
the lion, the crowds grew larger, and his
salary kept going up. Then one terrible day
when he was dangling over the furious lion,
he lost his grip and fell. The mime was terrified.
The lion gathered itself and prepared to
pounce. The mime was so scared that he began
to run round and round the cage with the
lion close behind. When no help came, and
the crowd looked on in shock, the mime started
screaming and yelling.
"Help,
Help me!" he screamed, but the lion was too quick and pounced.
The mime found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion,
who was just inches away from his face when he whispered, "Shut
up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired? |
