Scholarships

[ryno]

How many of you get scholarships? And how much of your tuition is payed with scholarships? I am a freshman, and in need of some financial aid, but do not qualify for federal aid. I heard that it is easy to get scholarships, but I have never recieved one, and dont really know where to look. Any suggestions or info would be great!!

Talk to the people in your Financial Aid Office - in person. They should be your number one help finding what's available and explaining what you need to do.

yeah I have gone by and talked to them but so far they have not been helpful...

I get a state scholarship that pays tuition and fees as long as you keep over a 3.0 GPA- it is available to any GA student

other than that none- but I am at a state university and live at home so i really don't need anymore money...

most of the private schools I applied to offered me between 1/2 and 3/4 of cost of attendance.

As far as me, I get approximately $17,000 a year in grants/scholarships and that still isn't enough .

This year, I got like $12K in scholarships, which is enough to pay tuitions, fees, and my housing. One of them is through the state for good grades, and the rest are cause my mom is in the Army.

Mine isn't, luckily. However, there is that little chip on my shoulder that reminds me that the saved money is from my loan 2nd year . Looking back, I should have gone to a cheaper school. Oh well.
