Fed Financial - Can I receive financial aid for the current Spring 2007 semester?

Can I receive financial aid for the current Spring 2007 semester?

As a result of some unexpected circumstances, I was extremely late in applying for federal financial aid for the 2006-2007 school year. I was awarded only $2650.00 for the entire year and I took out an education loan for $15,000. After paying tuition, apartment rent, books, and a million other unexpected fees/costs, I am realizing that I am going to have an extremely difficult time making ends meet for the current Spring semester. Is there anything I can do to get some significant financial help to continue funding my education?

Go back to your school and see if you can get any other loans. Look for jobs on your campus in an office where you can work and study. See if your parents can get an educational loan to help you out. Talk to different departments to see if they know of students who need tutoring. Put up a sign that advertises that you can tutor.
Sorry to say that you are more than likely going to be taking out an additional loan or getting an additonal job. If you can get it I would take a small loan as opposed to a job because school takes up a lot of your free time.

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for. Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it. OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing. http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/njcomputerchick/school.html MORE: http://www.myspace.com/financialaidpodcast http://www.FinancialAidPodcast.com http://www.sfa.ufl.edu:16080/scholarshipcafe/ http://www.fafsaonline.com/ http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ http://12.46.245.173/cfda/cfda.html http://www.salliemae.com/ http://www.studentawards.com/ http://www.collegeanswer.com/index.jsp http://www.studentscholarshipsearch.com/ http://www.studentscholarshipsearch.com/Detailed/Scholarships/Meta_indexes_and_other_scholarship_directories/Women_s_and_Non-traditional_students_scholarships_meta-directory_126.php http://www.discovernursing.com/nursing-scholarship-search http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/DSA/nsl.htm http://www.nsna.org/foundation/ http://www.4cnas.com http://www.schoolsoup.com/ http://www.blackexcel.org/link4.htm http://www.jackierobinson.org/ http://www.uncf.org/ http://www.finaid.org/ http://www.actstudent.org/finaid/scholarshipscams.html http://www.act.org/recognition/clients.html http://www.act.org/kfcscholars/index.html http://www.kfcscholars.org/ http://www.rhodesscholar.org/ http://www.collegedata.com/ http://www.fastweb.com/ http://www.getreadyforcollege.org/gPg.cfm?pageID=139 DEPENDENCY or NOT http://www.salliemae.com/get_student_loan/apply_student_loan/understanding/financial_aid/dependency/ LOAN FORGIVENESS or NOT (not sure about if valid, but worth a try) http://thestudentloanconsolidationguide.com/?cat=4 http://www.pheaa.org/loanforgiveness/healthier_futures.shtml STATUS of your gov loan or aid: http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/ if you don’t have a PIN yet (for your loan / aid status) apply for one: http://www.pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/pinindex.jsp ESSAY HELP http://www.scholarshiphelp.org/ http://www.gradesaver.com/resources/scholarship.html http://www.collegeadmissionsessays.com/ http://www.nataviguides.com/broke_essay.html http://www.princetonreview.com/college/apply/articles/process/essayjump.asp http://www.freschinfo.com/tips-brainstorming.php http://www.freschinfo.com/tips-topic.php http://essayedge.com/ GRANT SCHOLARSHIP SCAM LIST (if you find a scam report it here too) http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/consumer/media_psas_classads.html DEFAULTED STUDENT LOANS http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DCS/index.html INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS http://www.internationalstudent.com/ http://www.internationalscholarships.com/ http://www.internationalstudentloan.com/ http://www.globalslc.com/ http://www.edupass.org/finaid/loans.phtml http://www.abroadplanet.com/student-loans/the-global-student-loan-corporation/ http://www.studyabroad.com/forum/financial_aid.html LOANS http://www.finaid.org/loans/educationlenders.phtml http://www.alternativestudentloan.com/
