Good afternoon MaineMan! I appreciate and understand your comment. I am amazed by your immense resolve and determination to obtain higher education. I am more than happy to suggest alternative sources of financial aid. Here is what you can do:
Scholarships: Scholarships are great way to earn extra funds for college. They are free and are avalaible year-round. I highly recommend that you check out the Grants/Scholarships page of this website for some good scholarships database resources.
Work-study: I understand that you are currently working 2 part-time jobs, however, I recommend that you inquire about on-campus work-study. Work-study can be used as a form of financial aid where you work on campus for a wage. Depending on your university, some universities have work-study programs that can help you cover a significant amount of your financial commitment.
Private loans: As a last resort, I recommend requesting a private loan. This can help you satisfy your financial commitment. While this source of financial aid requires you to pay back the loan amount plus interest, many private loans agencies offer different types of payment plans that can help best suit your financial situation.
I hope that information is helpful to you. Please continue to stay encouraged and strive for excellence. The Black community faces many adversaries today, especially in higher education, but this is nothing new. That being said, persist in your journey through higher education and fight the good fight.
