Comments on: Using Financial Aid to Graduate Debt Free http://www.myliferoi.com/2009/05/using-financial-aid-to-graduate-debt-free/ Rebalance before it's too late Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:16:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Allan Henry http://www.myliferoi.com/2009/05/using-financial-aid-to-graduate-debt-free/#comment-88606 Allan Henry Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:46:26 +0000 http://www.myliferoi.com/?p=852#comment-88606 Nice article, and very informative. This is actually very true for college students. They tend to spend too much just to impress, without even thinking of the consequences of their actions. Others may not do it to impress, but they still live above their means, which is very wrong. As students they need to be very responsible with their actions, especially with the way they handle their finances. One must save as much as he/she can to get ready for the future. Easier said than done, I know, but it can be done with a lot of hard work and dedication. Keep posting! Nice article, and very informative. This is actually very true for college students.

Alright, first, I would highly recommend that you attempt to interview a financial aid officer (or someone knowledgable about the aid policies of the school, at least) to see what they offer; there might be financial aid available that's not easy to discover simply from a website or other online source. I discovered that my (now) alma mater had a policy of offering tuition-free enrollment to anyone who met certain qualifications and kept up a decent grade during their academic career; I was able to finish school without paying one cent in commission because of that initial interview. Second, see what financial assistance you can get from working at the school; at my alma mater, you could stay in the dorms for free if you were an RA, and you could become an RA in your sophomore year. Had I been more willing to deal with other students as an RA, I could have gotten my entire education for the price of one year of room and board. Add in the money I had been earning as a TA, and my education might have paid for itself. And finally, once you graduate, consolidate your student loan debt (assuming you have any, after those first two tips ;) ) and start paying it down, preferrably paying more than the minimum due. Besides cutting down on the interest you will pay, I know that American Educational Services (AES) will not require you to pay a minimum monthly amount if you've paid enough ahead of time; this can be a life saver if you suddenly lose your source of income. <abbr><em>Roger’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/theamateurfinancier/cFiv/~3/CSqrjf0vU0I/" rel="nofollow">Great Debates: Traditional vs. Roth IRAs</a></abbr></em> @MyLifeROI,

I find where we have FAFSA other countries more than make up for in subsidized pricing (if you live there). If you live in the US as a non-native, a lot of states are starting to offer up assistance!

I couldn't use several available Fed Assistance programs as I am not a US citizen but I can imagine how useful and relaxing it could be for native students.
