Can I talk to my colleges financial aid office to get more help with scholarships even if the FAFSA didn't give me anything?
I live overseas but I'm an American citizen going to an American high school, and I can't afford college without help. Will the financial aid office give me help if I ask? Or do I have to rely on third party scholarships to pay?

Parent won’t put financial info on Fafsa application. Can I put other parent on it?
I’m trying to go back to school and turn my life around, but I can’t do it without financial aid. I’m 22, and had to move back in with my father 7 months ago (I was desperate). My father has a gambling and drug addiction, as a result, I’m constantly staying with friends and family members. I go from friends couch, to aunts basement. My address is at my fathers apartment, but I’m NEVER there. He refuses to give me any of his financial info to put on my Fafsa. I haven’t lived with my mom since high school, but she did offer to let me use her on my FAFSA application. Can I do that? I don’t live with her. Neither parent takes care of me financially, but my address is at my fathers. What should I do? #college #scholarship #finance #financial-aid #financial-aid #Fafsa #Money

Can I attend two universities?
I committed to two colleges but college 1 starts in the summer 2021 and the college 2 starts in the fall 2021. I am planning on only staying at college 1 for the summer term and then dropping out. I plan on continuing at college 2 from fall till the end of my sophomore year. I plan on using my FAFSA Subsidized loan to pay for my summer term. What would happen if I finish my summer term but then dropped out of college 1 to go into college 2? Would the interest occur immediately? Or is it not allowed to use my FAFSA for more than one college? I only have unsubsidized loans for college 2 which I don't plan on using. #finance #financial-aid #human-resources #FAFSA

Where is a good place to start when applying for colleges and scholarships?
Money will be an issue for me that is why I'm trying to gauge my options from what schools are offering me, what scholarships I am able to receive and how much I am able to get through FAFSA, which I won't even get to do until at least February. So where do I start with all of this? I'm trying not to let it stress me out but yeah. #stressed #collegeapps #scholarships #help #FAFSA #money

Is it necessary to minor in chemistry if I am interested in the criminal forensic laboratory field?
Hello, I am a current student at Xavier University located in Cincinnati, Ohio (Go Muskies!). I am double major in criminal justice and psychology and will hope to complete Xavier University with a bachelor degree in science. With my immense passion for justice, I want to take my bachelor degree to criminal forensic lab. However, I am concern that I may or may not be on the correct path in making my way to what I want to pursue in my career option. My concern is if whether I should continue my double major with criminal justice and psychology and go forth a minor in chemistry. Another option that I had in mind was if I should consider psychology as a minor and make chemistry my actual second major? I have already proceeded to gain required hours for my psychology major is that helps with anyone answering my question(s)/concern. I would appreciate anyones guidance, professional or not. Thank you! -Jeremy B. #fafsa #xavieru #xavieruniveristy #1kscholarship #studentloan #scholarship #financialaid #lowincome #jesuitcollege #musketeer #criminaljustice #criminal #science #psychology #chemistry #justice#forensic #lab #laboratory
ColumbusCan I ask for more financial aid?
I received no financial aid due to my mother's income, but I live in a boom-and-bust economy so the income on the 2017 tax report is over $30,000 over her income this year. Can I challenge the financial aid judgement to earn more $$$ #financial-aid #money #finance #scholarships #fafsa ?
CasperHow am I supposed to pay for tuition without going into debt?
I’m on my own when it comes to the college experience, and I really don’t want to be in debt for the rest of my life all because I wanted a better education. FAFSA can only cover so much of the tuition, how am I supposed to manage being a full time student as well as a full time employee? #school ##highschool #fafsa #scholarships

Private Loans vs. Federal Loans. What are the pros and cons?
From what I can understand there are many types of loans for undergraduate or graduate school. Can anyone explain why I should choose a federal loan over a private loan or vice versa? #college #finance #financial-services #student-loans #federal-government #fafsa
