If you can’t get financial aid, it’s time to ask for help. If you’re parents can’t/won’t assist you with tuition, study up on everything to do with taking out loans. It’s a good option if you don’t qualify for financial aid.
You might start by looking for scholarships. Fastweb.com is a good place to start. You fill out a detailed questionaire, and they send you email alerts of scholarships that you might qualify for.
If you’re in high school, you could probably talk to a guidance counselor about scholarships or other options.
Definitely talk to the college that you plan on attending. They want you to attend, so they’ll find ways to get you there. Maybe you’ll be eligible for Work Study. Generally, those jobs are flexible, and you’ll make some money.
Finally, you may have to take out a student loan. Colleges generally have a preferred lender, but that doesn’t mean you have to use them. Do your research, and maybe have someone look it over with you because the terms can be a little cofusing. One might have a really good interest rate, but it only lasts for six months before it gets jacked up.
There is help out there, you just have to ask. Good luck!
