school loans advise please.

The Pell grants are great. Any other kind of grant you can get will help too. Grants do not have to be paid back whereas loans do! If you can go to school and not get loans you won't be behind when you get out. Check out some foundations that may be in your area. Since you are going into science there may be additional grants available. I had a goup pay for my tuition and books because I was going to school to teach math. I was also considered a "displaced homemaker" since I had just gone through a divorce. There's help out there but sometimes it's difficult to find!Good luck!!

After the grants there is the option of a student loan for the amount still owed if there is one. Everyone is eligible for a student loan at a low interest rate. You don't have to start paying it back for 6 months after you are out of school. I would be very careful with this though to make sure you don't borrow money that you can't pay back. I do have a student loan but I have not borrowed from it yet. I think the interest rate is 6%. I did get a pell but it still left me around $500 plus books to pay for. I am hoping I will qualify for more grants this year but who knows? I have found out that you can file your tuition on your taxes this year and get reimbursed.

Make sure you file the FASA then they usually get into the state grants also. Talk to your school and they sometimes have grants and scholarships for ones that need extra help and things in certain areas of study. You can also go to fastwebs.com and scholarships.com for various grants, scholarships and contests to help with tuition. I have had to get student loans and afraid to see what I will have to payback after graduation so if at possible do not go that route. I have filled out the FASA before with what was on my last paycheck stub and if had to edited when I got my taxes, many times they ask if you will or have filed your taxes but they know many like to fill out beforehand to make sure they have the met the deadline. Good luck to you and wish you the best.

it sounds and feel worse than it really is, but do not despair. There a quite a lot of companies who will pay your fees. Just pick a few, preferably big ones and go ask them. That is the only way. Or just apply for a study grant, that is easier, but you have to do it as soon as possible, as there is a lot of people who need grants. GOOD LUCK. i am sure that you will be helped by someone. PS: Never be ashamed to ask for help, it only makes you a better person, as you want to do something with your life.
