I am interested in setting up a scholarship fund…?

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:59:07 +0000

Can I set up a non-profit organization aimed at helping low-income, international students fund their university education and offer doners a tax deduction or would all donations have to be just that…good will donations. The latter seems a little harder to come by…

It may be worth getting in contact with specific higher education institutions and see if you could do it through one of them. They will have more experience in these areas and should be able to offer advice if nothing else =}

Can your college financial aid take over apartment rent during school?

My boyfriend is moving into my apartment this month and will be put on the lease as responsible for 1/2 the monthly rent. He is planning on starting college in June, at which point he won’t be able to pay the $350 a month. Is it possible for his school to work his rent into his school loans? If it matters, he is going to be attending Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science.

Wonder as a white male, if I went there and asked for some funding what would they say? Or would they denie me? Would doing that be racist?

Don’t do that.

Would our tax dollars be spent more wisely if they based college financial aid on your gpa every year?

I know at least a dozen kids who get thousands of dollars in grants and subsidized loans only to keep a C average. I also know dozens of kids who are getting straight A’s while working without getting a dime of financial aid.

Why should we invest in mediocrity?
NO appeals to emotion please. There are many sad stories out there but it doesn’t mean we need to pay for it!

No. i get alot of financial aid. my gpa isnt so great because i have to work 35 hours a week to support myself. i know people who dont work one damn bit and have lower gpas then i do. it honestly depends on the person. and you can just judge a whole group of people based off of nothing. i could take a ton of EASY classes and have a perfect gpa. while people in medicine and math and engineering kill themselves to succeed and have lower gpas and still come out making alot of money. it depends on the ease of the major what your gpa is, how much time you have to put towards it and so forth. gettig straight A’s doesnt mean you are smart or a good student. ever heard of cheating????

Will outstanding loans be accounted for college financial aid?

My dad took out an equity loan for $150,000 two years ago and still has only been paying the monthly interest. Last year the interest alone amounted to $10,000 annually. My dad makes close to $200,000 a year but has lost a lot of money in stocks, and his savings are nearly empty. I was wondering if I could receive financial aid because of the outstanding loans or will I be denied financial aid right away because of his high income.

Anyone can get fin aid regardless of income. Just remember, financial aid is a very broad term and includes student loans, you will be able to take out a student loan and he will be able to take out a parent PLUS loan for you if he wants. (Your limit will be 5500 a year as a dependent freshman.

You will not be able to get any free grants because you Dad does have a high income. The government doesn’t reward people who have high debt. There are no questions on the application about debt…. only income.

Should I even bother applying for college financial aid?

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:16:06 +0000

I was going to apply for financial aid and fill out my FAFSA profile and all that but I missed the deadline for one of my schools. However, my dad told me not to even bother filling it out. He said that since he makes a really really good salary, I’d probably not get anything.

Should I even bother or should I look for scholarships? Thanks.

You SHOULD apply for financial aid and look for scholarship, even if your dad makes good money, he probably wants of keep some in his pocket.
Trust me, more money you get the better off you are.
