My boyfriend and I are currently attending TAMUK, but our dream is to attend UT-Austin. This university has a substantially higher cost, but if we were to marry, would financial aid be increased for the both of us, since 1) The university is expensive, and 2) Simply, being married? We have been together for a while now and do want to be married, but would expediting this act financially aid us?

Lindsey asked:


For individuals with low income, how much does financial aid cover for a four year college? Is it enough so you can go? Or is it not enough so it stops you from attending college?

This year (freshman) all of my tuition is getting payed by government financial aid. However, I need money for other things like housing and credit cards. Will a student loan affect next year’s financial aid even if all of the money were spent? What kind of student loan would be better to get, private or federal?

1. Financial Aid has lowly estimated my need for the school year. 2. I have maxed out the most I can get from the government. 3. Financial Aid will not certify any more loan money for me, but I need more assistance. 4. I work part-time already and go to school full-time.

I am thinking about going to dental school for 4 years after college, but I will be getting married in between. My future husband will also be in school, getting his master’s, for 2 years. I am very worried about what our financial aid will be, since I will have college loans to pay off (I can borrow from parents). Dental school will be all on my own, though. Any idea what our financial aid will be like? Better or worse?

My mom has been a stay at home mom for a while now, but my dad was recently laid off from his job because the company closed it’s location here and technically went overseas. When applying for financial aid for thinks like studying abroad and college, how does that affect their decisions? He’s been out of work for a month or two now, and has been unable to find work in his area until the beginning of next year, and he receives unemployment. We are a middle class family, but with a lot of debt wracked up that we are currently paying off. So there’s a little bit of insight for you…

Thanks!

Is anyone able to answer this question or had similar experiences?
18 years ago I was in default on a student loan I did make arrangements and paid the loan back. I was wondering will this bar me from receiving financial aid now I am planning to attend classes for a degree. I have completed my FASA and am eligle for aid but I am afraid because of my bad choices years ago they will deny me. Is this possible?
