<p>I got into Northeastern University in Boston, my dream school but it's 40k+ per year, and it's a 5 year program. Granted the tuition cuts in half in the succeeding years after freshman year, I still have lots to pay. I got no federal aid or financial aid from the school. My dad can only pay 45k and won't let me get a loan for more than 30k. Does anyone know where I can get the rest of the money?</p>
<p>What about individual grants from foundations that are guaranteed? Any help?</p>
<p>Anyone please? This is quite urgent...</p>
<p>contact the school and tell them u cant pay, send an appeal</p>
<p>You may have to consider other options. Don't focus too much on one school.</p>
<p>Most people don't end up going to their 'dream school' for various reasons.</p>
<p>I agree with the last poster. I am not aware of any foundations that give grants like you want. </p>
<p>Take a close look at your other college options. Realize that more than one college can meet your dreams.</p>
<p>How come your father won't let you get loans over $30K? You're 18 and you're going to be the borrower, not your father.</p>
<p>you can get student loans, and most of them dont even make you pay interest until after you graduate...you shouldn't give up on your dream school just for monetary reasons. try searching some more, and i'm sure you'll find a lot of other aid. good luck!</p>
<p>I'm 17 actually (won't turn 18 until one month past my freshman year in college). And is it true Sallie Mae won't make you pay interest until graduation? Even so, I still have to get a loan for at least 45k....</p>
<p>Are you saying you father will give you $45K total for all years combined? And are you saying that tuition is $40K the first year and only $20K in subsequent years? :confused:</p>
<p>Well it is 40k+ the first year, and about 30k the subsequent years. And yes my dad is willing to give me 45k for all years combined, which is quite a lot actually.</p>
<p>I think $120K is WAAAY too much debt for anybody, and there is no way a student would qualify to borrow that much. You may need to consider other schools.</p>
<p>If it's of any comfort to you, my son could not attend his dream school because of money, but he is happy and successful where he is. :) Sometimes college is what you make of it!</p>
