Where can I find a college scholarship for lower middle class white females?
Written by admin on February 23rd, 2009
I am currently attending community college and looking for scholarships. All I can find are programs for minorities or disabled people. Where is the poor white trash scholarship fund? I can’t find anything that I am eligible for. I am unmarried, have no children, am making minimum wage, and attending school part time. Am I missing something or am I screwed?
Generally, if you file for your FAFSA’s — you get all available grants and federal loans that apply to you.
Make sure, when going to this website that it has the “.gov” in the web address. There are quite a few impersonators out there.
The Address is www.fafsa.ed.gov
Before filling out your fafsa form however, you must apply for a pin at
www.pin.ed.gov
If you are a dependent, you must also apply for another pin for one of your parents.
The pin is your signature, since everything is now officially done over the computer and no paper forms are allowed to be mailed in. Good Luck!
ALSO: You might be eligible for loans.
Subsidized loans are offered to students based on demonstrated financial need. So as long as your income taxes present this to the government, then you will be able to accept a Fed Dir Sub Loan.
Subsidized loans are the best loans because the federal government pays off the interest of the loan while you are still in school and during the grace period. They start charging you interest only after the grace period, which comes after you’ve graduated from college.
So, filing your FAFSA’s and renewing it each year would make you qualified and/or eligible for:
Scholarships
Federal Loans (Bank loans are evil. Stay away!!)
Federal Grants
Also, if you file your fafsa’s it gives your universities financial office the ability to hand out a university scholarship or grant, based on how much more money you would need.
If you receive well beyond the necessary amount of money, you get that back from your school in a form of a refund check.
With this check you can purchase a laptop and textbooks (Which could run you to about $300-$500 a semester, depending on your courses.
I would advise you keep the rest of the money in a high-interest savings account so that if you don’t receive much money in the following years, you can dip into your original funds.
Good Luck!!
