Tip to Scholarship Success: Master the Basics

brettpond I am currently a student and my parents are consignors for my loans. It really bites that I had to do it this way. According to them they did save,but it just wasn't enough for the school I am going to(25k a year). In my opinion I can understand why you are struggling with your son's tuition. To me this should be a government that educates its youth at the highest level(not the cheapest).

Call the schools and ask them what they can give YOU. If one school offers one thing go to the other and tell them, then ask them if they are willing to offer more. Get the schools to fight for your son. I know my school is paying 14k of my tuition(normally 30k a semester) just because my mother and I asked these questions before coming here. I am also getting scholarships due to race and musical skills.

I feel African students find it hard to get scholarships.this is because subjects studied are not the same.Is there anyway how Africans can be helped?

To Kachina and Howard, I'm currently in my first ten week course at Kaplan and I was told my federal student loan from Fannie Mae is going to cover my tuition for my Associates degree in Accounting. I'm wondering why you are not able to receive any more loans to finish your degrees. I'd like to know what I might be running into in the future here. I tried to contact you personally but I'm not sure how to do that. Let me know if you can, Donald Cowan

I need to find $8,000 in scholarship money or grant money to finish my education at Kaplan University for Medical Assisting. They originally told me I would only be required to pay $200 a term in technology fees, but now that I am halfway through my program they are saying I need more money on my part that the loans and pell grant are not covering.

Hello? Why am I suffering so bad to get a scholarship to continue my education in college? Why can't I pay it myself? Well, this is how my life is now. I'm having so hard time finding money for my tuition. I've been applying for scholarships everywhere and so far, no luck. So, please let me know a way to get a scholarship, especially that I'm a poor international student. Thank you very much

Hello

My interest now is to obtain a Master Degree in Human Recourse Management or Human Recourse Development . My heart's desire is to obtained this Degree. Further, obtaining an advance degree will allow me to have opportunities to improve my life and situations.
