I Need College Grant Help!

[franchise632]

So here is the thing, I am sure there are atleast a few of you here that have gone to college recently or are currently enrolled. I am looking at going to college for the first time after having been out of high school since 1998. I filed all my FA paperwork but they say I made to much money ($18,000) last year to qualify for more then like 2,000 in grant money. The problem is that in order to get a loan I need a cosigner due to my youthful indiscrestions with my credit cards. What I am looking for is someone that has idea on places to apply for grants and things. Anyone have suggestions or things that worked for them in the past? Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

FAFSA Stafford Loan

I have applied for this and only got a minimal amt of money. I need the rest to be covered by a private loan or other grant money.

Then get a second job...

...And after that go to a community college, collect as many credits as you can, then transfer those bitches. Not only will you save a buttload of money, but also you could save up when you go to a "real" school.

 

What is your major?...

[franchise632]

I am actually going to a career focused college, Brown College, it is an 18 month Associates Degree program. My major will be Radio Broadcasting with the hopes of becoming a sports talk radio host or play by play man.

Good luck -- you're going to need it.

 

And if it's only 18 months, take the financial hit and pay it back when you're working third shift at 7-11, err, when you become the Voice of the *Insert Team Name Here.*

 

BTW: How much will these 18 months cost?...

[franchise632]

its about $36,000 for all 18 months, I actually have a good job right now which is why i cant get financial aide, I made to much money but I wont be able to maintain that income level and go to school so im getting it coming and going.

[kkktookmybabyaway]

36k?...

[franchise632]

Yes, they have a very extensive and hands on program, I have heard nothing but good things about them.

[kkktookmybabyaway]

For 36k you better...

Then you need to apply for an unsubsidized Stafford loan.

 

Please do some research before stating inane facts.

Which is where the part about needing a cosigner comes in. I have applied for all loans that I qualify for. I am unable to get them on my own because of poor choices in the past which I take full responsibilty for. I am just going to have to pay as I go until the next FAFSA window opens up next year. Good times.

 

Anyone no any good sites that have listing to apply for grant money or scholarships? Things that may have worked for you in the past? It seems whenever I try a google search it brings up lots of sites to buy books and such.
