You will have to apply for student financial aid every year. This is required so that changes to income and status can be calculated. You may qualify for more assistance than the year before and not even know it. You may qualify for less. There may be new scholarships and grants available which were not there in previous years. Either way, if you do not submit a new application each year, your funding will end. The Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form used to apply for
Financial Aid in Education A guy in $50,000 of debt has got to be irresponsible with his money right? Actually, it is more likely that he is a college student.

Financial aid is based on, “your Expected Family Contribution, your year in school, your enrollment status, and the cost of attendance at the school you will be attending” (Loans). This system is flawed and should be changed due to financial aid money being used irresponsibly. Aid money should be rewarded based on the student’s income alone, rather than the entire household income. Remaining financial aid money should not be given back to the

called financial aid, although not every student is able to receive the funds. Students whose parents have higher income than most will not be able to receive financial aid funds. Financial aid is mostly given to students who are married and/or have kids. I do not agree with how the process works.

Therefore, students who do not receive financial aid, have

School, when I came to Porterville College to sing up for my classes. I was in the financial aid office talking to a counselor about my future plans, she was checking my application then ask me why I had a social security number and not a green card. My English at that time was not so good and it was hard for me to have a conversation with someone, then I freeze. She went to talk to the main head of financial aid at that time.

The way financial aid is given out is considered to be unfair to countless people. Financial aid is a need-based aid given to students based off of their family’s financial information. To some this may seem like the most reasonable way to handle it. Unfortunately, it is not. While today financial aid is given based solely on financial need, I argue that it should be given based off a student’s grade point average. Most people today that collect financial aid drop out, flunk

Attending a secondary school can be a real hassle. Whether you do not have the financial aid for it or if it’s just not right for you.

Financial Aid was created to increase enrollment rates for higher education. It is expected of young adults to further their education to get a good job, even if they do not have the money to do so.
