Katelyn B asked:


I earned a Bachelor’s of Elective Stusdies last summer, but am considering returning to college to persue a second degree. I can not seem to find any good information on financial aid except student loans. I am not making enough money at my present job to pay my bills, let alone more student loans. I have found my education thus far does not really apply to any field. I took primarily classes in Special Education and without a teaching license they are not helping me to find anything in my area.

Since international students cannot apply using the FAFSA, how can they apply for financial aid? By aid, I mean need-based grants, not scholarships or loans.
Some colleges use institutional aid. But the institutional aid form that calculates your estimated family contribution asks for a social security number and info from a U.S. tax return (eg. 1040EZ etc.). So how can an international student calculate his/her need using the institutional aid form?

I have never had financial aid before, but I am now hoping to return to college (in Florida) for spring 2008 and will only be able to do so with the help of financial aid. Is it possible for me to qualify for financial aid in time for the spring semester? If so, when would the deadline be to have all my forms submitted?

(I’m assuming I’m way too late for fall 2007, right..?)

I turned in everything for financial aid at the community college I’m going to, but I am now waiting to hear back. They told me it would take 7-10 business days. But my question is, what happens next and how are the checks disbursed?

RelientKayers asked:


Should I try to get a job when the government will know how much I make, when at the same time I want as much financial aid as possible? Should that be a reason why not to get a job?
