How do I get free college money for my daughter?

We Answered:

Has she had free money in the past? If your EFC has been low enough to qualify for Pell Grant, that is Federal money and should not be affected by the changes in CA due to the budget. The State legislature also approved funding for Cal Grant for the 08/09 year, so if she has had that, she will retain it for the year. As for new FREE money, you are going to find it hard to find, unless she has the grades that can qualify her for Scholarships (try scholarships.com for a search engine and never ever pay for a scholarship search).
You should also check with the Financial Aid Office at her school, as they may have options for her.
Lastly, if your own credit is decent, you can apply for a Federal PLUS loan (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students). The rate is about 8.5%. The drawback is, you begin repayment as soon as it is disbursed. If she has good credit, she could apply for an alternative loan. Rates will vary depending on her credit, but it is not repaid until she is out of school. Also, be sure she is taking advantage of her Stafford loans. They may not be Free money, but at least she won't have to repay them until 6 months after she has graduated or left school.

Are you planning to save college money for your baby?

We Answered:

To many kids ride the coat tails of the parents money and party their way through college with a major in something odd that will have nothing to do with getting a good job.I think all kids should work their way through school and they learn to appreciate schooling more. If you want to save your money and make it grow for emergencies or retirement ect. Do money market investments and CD's even investing in real estate proves to be a great investment.

What are some ways to earn money without a lot of work while in college.?

We Answered:

Is there a particular subject you were really good at in high school? Something you were able to help your friends with? Try locating some of the local high school counselors and adding your name as a tutor. Tutors here charge around $40.00 an hour. I kid you not, I got a tutor for my son in high school calculus and she helped him so much, at $40.00 per one hour session! Worth every penny I spent on him! Think about it.

What are good ways to get college money?

We Answered:

Student loans. The school you attend will have a financial aid counselor and they will be able to help you with what you need for your specific educational plan.

You can search for student loans. If your parents are willing to co-sign (and they have decent credit) you should be able to get whatever you need financially.

ALSO... go fill out a FAFSA to see if you qualify for any type of government aid before you start looking into loans.

How do I ask my grandmother for college money?

We Answered:

She doesn't owe you a college education. You might have heard someone say that your grandfather left money for your education, but that is just hearsay.

You say that your grandmother is a little crazy and mean sometimes, and you don't usually talk. You just want her to fork the $$ over and be quiet. I can't say that I blame her if she isn't forthcoming with the money even if she had originally intended to help you with your education. Maybe she is waiting to see some maturity and respect on your part.
