Good evening Keisha. I completely understand your situation. Many students often have the dilemma of not having their college tuition fully covered. This can be frustrating, but there are other ways you can receive additional financial aid. Here are some:
Scholarships: In addition, there are multiple platforms that hold thousands of scholarship opportunities and they are safe from government influence. Please check out the scholarships/grants page of our website for good scholarship database resources and scholarship opportunities.
CSS Profile: College Board's CSS Profile is very helpful in helping people receive non-federal institutional aid (Scholarships, university specific scholarships and grants, etc).
State Tuition Assistance: Many U.S. states offer in-state tuition assistance which can cover sometimes 75% to 100% of college expenses. However, this is only for residents. If your state has this form of assistance, you may be eligible for tuition assistance if you attend an in-state university. So, please check eligibility requirements if you are interested in this form of aid.
University-specific financial aid policies: Many universities offer financial aid policies that are willing to provide full tuition coverage to students who have an income within a certain margin. Please check your desired universities' financial aid policies to see if they offer full tuition coverage based on your income.
Loans: Loans often get a bad wrap because they require students to pay back their loaned money plus interest. While this is true, there are options students can choose to make paying back loans easier for both themselves and their families. For example, students can choose between payment plan options that can either have them pay off their loans while in school or 6 months after they have graduated. I recommend this financial aid option only if you are unable to obtain enough funding from the aforementioned financial aid options above.
Despite your situation, you can rest assured that there are options available to help you pay your additional college expenses. Continue to stay encouraged and keep up the great work!
