Yes. There are all kinds of programs and help. It just takes time and determination on your part to do the research, paper work, make the phone calls and follow up.
Contact your local unemployment offices, go to your local community colleges and speak to a guidiance counselor, or even go to the book store and look in the section for grants and financial aid or scholarship resources. Grab a few, find a corner and start looking through the pages. Take a notebook and write down all of the contact information, including any deadline dates, web pages and any other criteria.
Hell, even the library is a great resource.
Just be sure you keep a journal of what you find out, who you talk to and what they said and when you talked to them.
That way, you will have a written memory of all of the information that you have gathered and you don't waste time going back to the same thing or talking to the same person, or agency. Don't be afraid to ask for information. People are really very willing to help out more than you might think.
Good luck and don't give up. In times like this, you can be the worst enemy you can have. So tell yourself that, you can do it.
Guess what! You can. Just remember what it is that you want and stay focused.

Answer: Well Grants and Loans all fall under the Financial Aid ...
Well Grants and Loans all fall under the Financial Aid umbrella,
There are a few grants that you can receive by doing the FAFSA application. The amount you can receive depends on your enrollment status, plus the output information or Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of the FAFSA application. Community colleges also offer some form of state grants.
By doing the FAFSA application you are also entitled to guaranteed student loans called the Stafford program, There are two forms of the Stafford program, one is a Subsidized which the Government pays the interest on the loan while you are in school, the other is an Unsubsidized which is an interest bearing loan right now of 6.8%.
Every person has a different scenario so your best bet is to really talk to the financial aid office once you receive your award letter, and find out what is money that is free and what is money that has to be payed back.
Answer: There are different types of Financial Aid. If you are ...
There are different types of Financial Aid. If you are eligible and receive a Pell and Tap grant you pay nothing back. It is a grant. Meaning you do NOT pay it back. Pell and Tap pay for your books, tuition and Work Study (Stipend that is paid for working while in school through various companies who are registered). Whatever is left over you recieve toward the end of the semester. It's yours to do with whatever you like.
However, if you apply for a loan, which is another type of financial aid, you will have to pay it back. Generally you have up to six months from the time you graduate to start paying back the loan.
I have gone to Community College as well as several other schools. and experienced first-hand what financial aid has to offer. There are also plenty of sites that have informations on these grants.
Question: will I qualify for additional Federal financial aid for Online school for my living expenses?
I am begining an online associates degree in the next 2 weeks at an accredited University (PHOENIX). I so far am qualified for financial aid to cover classes and text books. Can I also get aid for living expenses like any other college student living off campus?
Answer: Go to FAFSA website then look for their terms and policy.
Go to FAFSA website then look for their terms and policy.
Answer: You have to check with the financial aid office at Phoenix ...
You have to check with the financial aid office at Phoenix to see what type of budget they give students with all online classes. Usually the budget for a student taking all online classes is lower then a student taking classes on campus. The school makes that determination, not the federal student aid program.
Question: Withdrawing from 1 class, financial aid?
I'm taking 13 credits, and this class I'm going to drop is 5 credits. I've attended 23 out of 26 days so far out of a 43,(53.5%) semester class. If I drop how much would I have to pay back?
I'll add more info if need be.
Answer: If you drop below full time, you might have to pay it all ...
If you drop below full time, you might have to pay it all back.
Answer: I think FAFSA covers only full time students, if you are ...
I think FAFSA covers only full time students, if you are below full time, usually 12 credits then you are liable for the full tuition on your own. You have to visit your financial aid office and find out how much each credit costs. You might reconsider dropping since the bill might be a nice amount of money.
I would go to the financial aid to find out for sure.
Answer: You must carry a minimum of six credit hours to receive ...
You must carry a minimum of six credit hours to receive federal funding.
If you drop those classes now, assuming you are past the drop period at your school, you are responsible for the funds.
I strongly advise you to speak to your financial aid officer at your school.
We are only guessing here, and every school has different rules and regulations.
Good Luck

If you drop below 6 credits, you wil have to pay that money back.
Question: Why should a person not receive financial aid during their first semester of school?
Answer: no
no
Answer: What do you mean? Why shouldn't you in general take out ...
What do you mean? Why shouldn't you in general take out a loan or why would a person not qualify?
If it's the first, definately don't take a loan unless you need it. I needed mine but now for last year of school i've saved enough money to cover tuition. Interest rates are on the rise, never take a loan if you don't need to.
Answer: Some schools want to see how serious you are about the ...
Some schools want to see how serious you are about the school before they can fully be willing to help.
Answer: Their is nothing about financial aid that says you cant get ...
Their is nothing about financial aid that says you cant get anything your first semester in college. If you dont qualify because you or your parents make too much that is one thing, but you can apply and try to get it. If you do get a stafford loan they are at at a fixed rate so it wont go up or down. check out scholarships too.
Answer: You really didn't supply enough information for us to ...
You really didn't supply enough information for us to answer your question.
If you started in the winter/spring semester, you may not have qualified for grants based on the information you submitted on your FAFSA. You still should have qualified for a Stafford loan which is financial aid.
If you are saying that you didn't qualify for the 08-09 FAFSA, basically read what I wrote above.
Not everyone qualifies for grants.
Again, a Stafford loan is part of financial aid. Currently the rate on it is 6.8%. Understand this rate can vary meaning it is not like a fixed rate loan. Today it is 6.8, but two years from now it could be 9%.
I encourage you to provide more detailed information next time so that we can assist you better.
