Paying for College

<p>I read that the best way to earn financial aid is to take money out of your bank account and put it into a safe deposit box so colleges think you need more financial assistance. just a suggestion</p>

<p>Also, this isnt a scholarship, but [url=<a href="http://cashcratesignup.tk%5Dcashcratesignup.tk%5B/url"&gt;http://cashcratesignup.tk]cashcratesignup.tk[/url&lt;/a&gt;] offers money to students and teenagers online. I started it last month and I have been extremely profitable! It makes college costs seem much less daunting.</p>

<p>Good Luck everyone! I hope you all get into the college of your dreams</p>

<p>Actually, hiding assets in that manner is probably the best way to spend some time in prison for fraud, not really the way for folks to begin their futures.</p>

43

<p>This is an extremely helpful thread. I've been scouring the internet hard looking for funding. Any updates or recent finds from anyone?</p>

44

<p>This is so fantastic! I am new to the forum, and this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for!</p>

<p>Just to add on, a few other sites I have come accros while searching:</p>

<p>www.studentsglobal.com</a> -
www.geeducation.org</a> -</p>

<p>both offer a scholarship and information on scholarhsips from other sites.</p>

<p>Thanks again, I can't wait to check these out!!!!</p>

<p>Has anyone ever gotten scammed or something by using scholarships sites like fastweb.com?</p>

49

<p>You question covers a lot of territory & I'm sure that there are folks who have been scammed by many promising to "guarantee" students will get aid and/or scholarships for an application & processing fee. Our local newpaper is doing an expose of one woman with several fraud convictions that has been offering seminars for such things in town. I find it reprehensible, but they know there are lots of folks who want help navigating thru the complexities of getting aid & willing to pay for it.</p>

<p>Thanks for this collection. Very very good!</p>

51

<p>Has anyone applied to the Robert C. Byrd Scholarship?</p>

52

<p>^ I will be!</p>

53

<p>Is there a common due date for institutional merit aid (ie jan1 or dec31 for RD application for schools or Feb 15 for fin aid)? When is it?</p>

54

<p>Thanks for the list. :)</p>

<p>It's really helpful of these informations. By the way I want to ask if there is any one knows about any scholarship outside available for international students? I received some merit-based scholarship but it's not enough to get me in. They advised me to bring outside scholarship. Im trying to find some scholarship from some organization or sponsor but it's pretty hard. I hope that some one can share informations about this. Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Hi ppl …</p>

<p>I have a problem figuring out which university will give me good scholarship/aid . I am an international student.</p>

<p>My stats are just about average - since i am an international … figuring out my GPA would be a problem … but i guess an average of B- to B</p>

<p>My Sat score is 2030 - 700 M , 700 CR , 630 CW</p>

<p>I plan to do an Undergrad degree in Mech Eng</p>

57

<p>Has anyone actually received any scholarship directed through fastweb? I was just wondering if all of this is a waste of time.</p>

58

<p>I had luck with this one: </p>

<p>[College</a> Scholarships, Scholarship Search & Student Loans – NextStudent.com](<a href=“Scholarship Directory - Best Trade Schools”>Scholarship Directory - Best Trade Schools)</p>

<p>and they don’t sell your information! I’ve also used [FastWeb</a> : Scholarships, Financial Aid, Student Loans and Colleges](<a href=“http://www.fastweb.com%5DFastWeb”>http://www.fastweb.com) but I’ve received SO many e-mail offers from them. Their engine is good, just hate all the spammy e-mail.</p>
