resourceful ways to pay for college

My name is Margaret Loftus. I’m a freelance reporter for the U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 Best Colleges guide and I have received permission from College Confidential to post here. I am interested in interviewing students (or their parents) who have found resourceful and informative ways to pay for college. For instance: someone who cobbled together a range of off-the-beaten-path scholarships or a student who was a savvy negotiator with a school and earned some more aid that way. Even an entrepreneur who has built a business to get them through school. I’m looking specifically for a student who will still be in college in the fall, so no graduating seniors. If this is you (or your child), please email margaretloftus@gmail.com. Thanks.
