<p>I was wondering, but would anyone happen to have advice regarding financial aid for me?</p>
<p>I finished my first year of college at Kent State University in NE Ohio as a German major and took the fall semester off to work in Germany as an aupair. I got sick and wound up coming back about ten months ahead of schedule, and my parents seperated in the meanwhile. I currently live with my dad and have no contact/financial support of any kind from my mother. My 16 year-old sister lives with her. </p>
<p>My dad makes about 30k a year after taxes and I estimated my FAFSA results using an online calculator and it said my expected EFC is $1380. </p>
<p>I'd like to go back to KSU and live on campus, but can't afford the tuition as-is now. I've had trouble finding work and I'm getting ready to try and defer my existing loans from last year that amount to roughly 6k. </p>
<p>Kent State cost around 22k living on campus per year, and I'm looking at a few other schools in Ohio--Ohio University's one of them and runs around 18k living on campus.</p>
<p>I'm hoping to go back and major in Japanese or Korean as well as the German--I've only got three courses/ nine credit hours until I'm finished with the major requirements for my 4 year degree in German, but still have around 70 Liberal education credit hours to finish so that I can graduate--I don't want to sit around just taking LER credits when I could tack on a few extra credit hours per semester and add a second major.</p>
<p>Would anyone happen to know of scholarships for people looking to learn needed foreign languages, or ways that I can manage to head back to school without massive loans?</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated</p>
