If I Need More Financial Aid, What Can I Do?

Answer:
If you need additional financial aid, you may want

to consider the following options:

1. A work-study program is a great way to learn new skills and to add some much needed cash to your wallet. Most schools offer both on and off-campus employment opportunities.

2. Talk with your advisor to see if there are any scholarships or grants that you may be eligible to receive. Make sure you have your information in order so that you can meet the required deadlines.

3. Look at your budget to see where you can cut costs. There are a lot of graduates who’ve survived on Ramen noodles during their college years.

4. If possible, apply for an additional student loan or a personal loan. However, don’t forget you’ll eventually have to repay these loans in addition to the loans you’ve already received.

5. Although a college education can be costly, it is one of the best investments you can make for yourself.
