how do I pay for college? my parents aren’t going to pay for anything, I plan to apply for student housing at CSUN and be a full time student. ( double major ) and I will be applying for financial aid and scholarships. how do I go by paying the tuition in full? I’m so confused. please help.
What is your EFC (estimated family contribution)? Do you qualify for Cal grants, Pell grants??? Have you been accepted to CSUN? If so, what is your financial package look like? You are only allowed to take out $5500 in loans as a Freshman/Sophomore, $6500 as a Junior and $7500 as a Senior? Are you low income?
Mistake: $7500 for Junior/senior year. Do your parents have money and refuse to pay or they have no money to help? Consider a CC for 2 years and work to help pay tuition? If low income, could get government help with Cal grants, Pell grants along with work study to help.
