First consult your school's financial aid office to maximize your financial aid eligibility. Then if you need extra money, you can apply for a private student loan with custudentloans.org. The minimum is $2,000 for an application. Also, make sure you are spending wisely. Maybe you can find a computer solution for less than $1,000, but that is your choice depending on what needs you have. If you take any loans, I recommend beginning repayment while in school, even if it is only a small monthly payment. Hey Emilia.

]]> Comment on FAFSA: Understanding Parent and Student Assets by Jennifer http://www.custudentloans.org/2011/02/07/fafsa-understanding-parent-and-student-assets/comment-page-1/#comment-54331 Jennifer Fri, 24 Feb 2012 04:35:09 +0000 http://www.custudentloans.org/?p=2771#comment-54331 I have a couple of questions. If a checking/savings account is a joint account between parent and child, can this just be claimed as a parent's asset? Also, how does the student's earnings play into this? For example, if the student earned $8000 last year and has a similar amount in the joint checking, how will that affect aid eligibility? It seems a shame that the student's diligence to save almost all of his earnings could kill their otherwise full eligibility for grants. I have a couple of questions.

The education system knows that it’s difficult for most students to afford the average $20,000 per year college bill, so the U.S. Government can offer as much as $50,000 per year in college grants. These education grants help both men and women. There are plenty of college grants categories that you probably fit into to get money so apply for your free college grant money today.

As you point out, many students have very specific job intentions when they graduate, and don't want to settle for a job they deem below their standards. My boss recently interviewed a young woman for a project that we have been working on. This woman will be graduating with a degree in interior design, and she too holds high expectations for her ideal career. I have to wonder, though, if Generation Y should collectively be labeled as a "self-centered" generation. While the recent surge of social media sites can increase individuals' self-esteem, I don't think it's a bad thing that many young people know what they like and what they don't. Do you agree that understanding where you best fit into society can help to bring about more satisfaction in the working world?
