Consolidating private student loans so I can one day buy food
I am a student at Seattle Pacific University. I have both federal loans and private student loans. I did my FAFSA every year and 2 out of the 4 years I didn’t get enough federal financial aid (loans), so I had to apply for private student loans. I did it through Sallie Mae. Now [...]
Student Direct Loans will have you jumping off the couch
It is safe to say that the economy has scared anyone trying to get a loan for school. How will you pay it back if the economy gets worse? How will you get a job once school is over? These are all great questions to ask yourself in the process of college. One great [...]
Government Student Loans are the best way to go
Many of us rely on government student loans to fund our education. They usually have low interest rates, are easily available with often no credit checks, and Universities will usually help you find them. When we fill out the FAFSA in search for Federal Aid, government student loans and grants is exactly what we are [...]

Where are the free college scholarships?
Much like grants there are tons of scholarships out there for the taking. There are also thousands of websites out there, that just want your information and they’ll send you a “free guide” to all the free college scholarships out there. It is time consuming, confusing, and doesn’t get you very far. What can [...]
Filling out FAFSA online makes me nauseous
This is the front page excerpt. Should probably put more here…FAFSA Online!
Summer Financial Aid - all work and no play
Going to summer school is like not sleeping in on a Saturday. You can do it but why would you? I have taken summer school twice in my college career, and though I don’t regret it now, in the midst of the fire I hated it. You can’t work to make up for the empty [...]
Lights on, doors open, no grants for schools
I think you know what I am talking about. The grants for schools which will pay your entire tuition for a year. Or the school grant from Bill Gates or Oprah that will pay for all your tuition and solve world hunger. It is tough to find these grants. I go to a private college [...]
