Message: <blockquote data-quote="jlittlej" data-source="post: 6541618" data-attributes="member: 46311">Go to the financial aid office as early as you can.  They can be quite helpful.  I showed up at the office at my new school the other day to discuss loan options and walked out with $4k for the year in grants despite not qualifying for some stuff because I'm a "second degree" student.  That's almost half my tuition for the year, and I had no idea I was even eligible for grants.  They will make you fill out some federal paperwork online, which will spit out the amount they expect you to contribute to your education for the year - in other words, tuition + cost of living + expenses - your expected contribution is what you'll qualify for in loans.</blockquote>
