BORROWING MONEY
My PELL grant came in and wasn’t quite enough to cover tuition, and i’ll need books, of course. so i applied for a student loan. I think i said this before, but will say it again.
after i’m done with school this time i will be eligible to consolidate my student loans at a nice low interest rate.
so i borrowed 1500 dollars, hope it gets me through the next two semesters anyway. i should be able to get a job in web design by then, or something else might come along.
the best way to get your finances together is simply to visit the financial aid office at the school you think you might want to go to. they are so helpful. there are a lot of grants out there.
SCHOLARSHIPS
i found a neat place that has bunch of scholarships http://www.fastweb.com
so i am writing essays right now for deadlines. they give lots of time to finish. hope i get some, it’s free money that never needs paying back. the best kind.
there are also some artwork scholarships, but i’m more of a writer.
my loan won’t be here in time for books, so the school gave me a voucher for books from the bookstore. i had thought i could get the text books cheaper at ebay, but there didn’t seem to be any deals that beat the college bookstore for used books (counting shipping).
school starts next monday, i’m getting excited.
went on campus and found the buildings today while i visited the bookstore.
thanks for reading and see you next time.
