Can I?
You may be eligible for unsubsidized federal student loans for a second bachelor’s if you have not reached your lifetime loan limit.
Some colleges may offer work-study or institutional aid for a second degree, but the amounts and availability are often quite limited.
Most/many colleges will not provide any “free money” for a second degree. Fed grants are not available for a second bachelors, either.
Stafford loans (which aren’t large) might be available IF you haven’t already maxed out. If you are close to maxing out then that would also be a problem.
And you may have to file a SAP appeal at some point, depending upon when you go over 150% of the credits needed for a single degree. However, to get the loan (assuming you haven’t reached the limit), that should just be extra paperwork.
@evgeny19 Is a student in Russia, presumably an international student/ not a U.S. citizen.
Aren’t international transfer students among the least likely to get institutional aid from a US university?
@evgeny19 - if you are not a U.S. citizen, you are not eligible for federal aid. In the future, please try to provide more information in your posts - certainly more than a 2 word sentence consisting of 4 letters and a question mark.
Well…let’s start here.
You cannot ignore your current college enrollment and apply as an incoming freshman. All colleges here REQUIRE that you submit transcripts from ALL previously attended colleges. There is no exception to this rule.
If you pretend that you didn’t actually take college courses, you application would actuall be quite dishonest. Colleges frown on dishonesty. And they esoecially frown on it for financial aid gain.
Your dishonest plan is full of holes.
You are not seeking a secod bachelors according to this post you made at 1:57 TODAY.
Your story is not a straight one.
I think she knows that and has hopefully abandoned the plan from that thread in favor of getting a second undergrad degree (one here after finishing the one in Russia I guess). I’m not sure why she isn’t considering grad school though.
As an international student pursuing a second bachelors degree, I seriously doubt there will be any financial aid available for this.
Honestly, I don’t see the appeal of two Bachelor’s degrees anyway, even if it was free to the student. Computer science isn’t even a field where accumulating undergraduate degrees helps you with jobs. Getting a master’s degree would probably the best use of time and probably the only way she can get financial aid.
