How much does FAFSA pay for your college tuition?
There is no set percentage FAFSA gives out regardless of what you've heard. What FAFSA does count is how much money the school is giving so let's say that your school gives out $5,000 to you in financial aid and scholarships. The FAFSA will review that and then award you aid depending on your family's income. Suppose you are a dependent (majority of college students are) and your parents are only able to afford to pay $6,000 per year, the FAFSA will give you the remaining money in form of Unsubsidized and Subsidized Stafford Loans and Pell Grants and many other (SMART or TEACH or SEG) for which the information is available on their website. My tuition for freshman year was $30,000 and first year I got $11,000 in scholarships and $9,000 in federal money (subsidized, unsubsidized loans, grants, etc) and my mom had to take a $10,000 loan (FPLUS). This year it went up to $32,000 and I got $11,000 in scholarships, $15,000 in government aid and had to pay $6,000 out of my pocket (which we took out another loan for) so I am guessing the more financially troubled your family is, the more they pay. Not to say you should act like you are in trouble to get more money because one of my friends registered as an independent and got 100% tuition to pay for college and fed. gov. found out he was still a dependent and ordered him to pay ALL the money back!! Ouch! He never thought it could happen. He still doesn't have a clue how they found out!! No lie, I'll give you his name and you can google it because it was a top story at that time!
Is 15-17 dollars an hour decent for a kid out of college?
Also factoring in that this job is pretty much guaranteed for me (i'm already with the company and they promote from within) and once i attain my bachelors degree i'm pretty much guaranteed the 15-17$/hour job. I'm also planning on using this job as a stepping stone to a really really good job. My only concern is i don't know how long it would be until i would be hired by the high paying job. The first job would be the experience i would need in the "real world" and i would be getting anywhere from 15-17 an hour sooooo yea I mean, will i be able to have what i want and NEVER be strapped for money. No car payment and no family to support (until i get the high paying job) . So just your basic bills: rent, car insurance, food, gas, etc.
Am I able to enlist in the U.S. Navy after college? And if I m able to, should I enlist before?
I m 16 right now, and I m debating whether I should enlist then go to college, or if I should enlist after college. But the thing is, I don t know if I am able to enlist after college. Does anyone know which option would be better? (considering the first option is available.)
