<p>Hi Guys,
I am an internaional student. I have received financial aid from ColbySawyer College. They said they gave me generous scholarship ($34 000). But it doesn't meet my full financial need. I need to pay $12 000 more. And I can pay only $5500. I was thinking about finding a job on campus, but the college is really small. So I don't rely on it. Can you advise me if it is possible to froze the academic year, and start from the next fall? I want to go back to my country and work for a while, and save some money. Do you think it is possible to get a gap year at this college?
Thank you for all replies!</p>
<p>This is not a question that people on a message board can answer. You need to contact the admissions office at your college and ask THEM.</p>
<p>While you can defer your start day, you will have to apply for financial aid all over again. You will most likely not get the same package that you got this year especially if you work. If you make money, then your student contribution will go up.</p>
<p>thank you for replies!</p>
