<p>*How easy or hard is it to get the federal loans that dont accumulate interest while youre in college? *
That depends on your EFC & to COA or cost of attendance at your school.</p>
<p>*How harsh are the interest rates for loans where it does accumulate while youre in college? *</p>
<p>I believe Stafford loans are currently at 6.8% for unsubsidized.</p>
<pre><code>When getting scholarships, if the scholarship specifically states it goes directly to your school, can that scholarship be used to pay off student loans that you have because of taking them out for that school, or can it only go towards future expenses of that school?
</code></pre>
<p>If you used the scholarship to pay down loans, how would you pay your expenses?</p>
<p>As you get further along with school, if you are able to keep high grades throughout, does it get easier to get scholarships and grants at that point?
There can be funding for graduate school, it is competitive & depends on your field.</p>
<p>When you go on to pursue your Bachelors and Doctorate, do the schools start to help you more at that point when they realize youre serious about this, or is it pretty much always the case where you are left to fend for yourself financially</p>
<p>It’s up to you to find a school you can afford.
