The “F” Word—Financial Aid

The “F” Word—Financial Aid
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on October 31, 2012


By: Kayla Childs

Whether you’re a graduating senior, freshman or have already started your graduate career, at one point or another, financial stability will be put into perspective. For some, dream college enrollment ambitions must put to a screeching halt due to the lack of funds. Here is when the fun part begins. As a student, we must search all 4 dimension of the World Wide Web for scholarly funds; whether it includes scholarships, grants, internships or loans.



The options are endless; however, the amount of effort and determination put into the search makes a world of a difference.

According to Huffington Post, “Members of the college class of 2010 who took out student loans owed an average $25,250 upon graduation, a 5% increase from the year before.” The financial burden of college is no secret to generations to come. At the same token, there are thousands of scholarships left unapplied. Spend your time wisely searching and applying. The rewards will come sooner or later.

Don’t become a post graduate student, drowning in debt.
