Hi you guys!
So I wanted to sit down and talk to you about how I financed college and I hope that this video helps some of you out to figure out your options for financing college. Now, I understand that when it comes to grants it is based on your family income which is DIFFERENT for everyone, but this is how my situation worked and it may be similar to yours. Also I am NOT trying to brag in any way about me getting money to go to college. I am just sharing how much I received so you guys know that I am not BSing and prove I am not lying. I take pride in honesty and I am a bio nerd so I need to see evidence if I am to believe anything. I hope this helps you guys out and thank you so much for watching!
Gabby

anyone else painfully middle class? like in that limbo between being too rich to receive financial aid besides loans, and too poor to get help from parents?
painfully_human Yup, $734 for books the other day, when everyone else at the bookstore paid with financial aid. Yet I’m just as broke, if not more, than them... >:(
Feel your pain 100%
Lucky TBH. Loans are the devil! Save up and do community college for first two years, then finish last two at local university without debt! Seriously. It’s doable and worth this. Apply for scholarships.
Omg yes! I’ve been having this problem! And it doesn’t help that I want to go to a university that is very expensive
I’m in the same boat, I feel like the middle class is always getting screwed over for everything
Things I never want:
-credit card debt
-student loans
-herpes
Got what😂
@@flackoso2 I got 2 of them haha.
Hahahah
Trueee

Financial Aid doesn’t work when parents make too much, even worse if your parents don’t want to support college.
@@harrymarkson7971 are you in India? 😂🤣😂🤣
When they won't support you then make it a point in the forms. Say you are only renting off of them and pay in cash. I was actually in that position and it took care of a lottttttttt.
that my case rn
My dad was a teacher and taxed so much I couldn't even afford college, had to hitch ride to the 6th form at the school he taught at. I reccomend anyone to start a business before college
aracelycastle THIS! My parents make a lot but that isn’t necessarily enough to send me to college!
your parents are smart to advise u to not take out loans.
Ms Marks why I didn't get it ??
cos you FUCKING FULL NIGAA
YOU HORNY SADIA
Ms Marks There really isn't much of another option
Yeah for some of us it's either take out loans or don't get an education at all and work a low end job forever.
I never went to college because financial have always been a problem for my family since i was born, so college was not an option for me and i need to support my parents financially as soon as possible, especially when my dad got stroke and my mom diagnosed with breast cancer, so things were pretty bad lol.
Thankfully i teach myself how to write code since i was in highschool, i stay up late and went to sleep for like 2-4 hours almost everynight. I often skip school or fell asleep in class, but i manage to graduated from highschool in 2013 and get my first full-time job as a programmer afterwards, and my career start to climb up from there and now i can afford college for my little sister.
So yeah, things are getting better, and now my biggest concern are my parents wellbeing, so wish me luck for my journey ahead.
Cheers!
Aw good luck!!!
Good luck.

Aldy Al-jufrie Good luck
Just fight through it strong! Good luck
I had a class in high school where my teacher was also a college professor and he stressed the importance of not taking loans in college.
Glad I had him as a teacher; because so far so good.
I do understand loans are a no-no, but what are the other options when you're broke? I don't see another option
Agreed, Go for the lesser known scholarships. A local restaurant in my area was giving away a scholarship. Less than 25 people applied.
Great opportunity
@Bill Hadzovic scam
claforvr atw do you know
Whats the number to get the money for school
I’m really glad I came across this video like I’ll be attending college in fall of 2020 and the idea of paying for it literally gives me anxiety attacks like I literally have breakdowns about it
Mymyraiah same

Ma'am where are u now

Thank you so much for sharing, Gabby. Financial stress is a killer. I got a little teary-eyed at the end of your video because it truly is a sensitive subject. I didn't finish college because of financial stress. Both of my parents made / make around minimum wage my whole life, so I didn't have any financial support. I bought my own cars, my rent, utilities, I had zero furniture to start, my clothing. It all adds ups. I still get negative feedback about how I didn't finish - yet. It hurts a lot. I feel like such a screw up. Like, can't anyone see how nearly impossible college was for me? I know some people do it with worse or equally awful positions, but with the financial and emotional stress I grew up with, I decided that eating ramen noodles for dinner and doing laundry twice a month just wasn't the life I wanted. Between this video and your video about leaving med school, I feel a little bit of relief. So, thank you for giving me some inspiration to be me. Genuinely. Much love, I wish you all the best.
I know this video is more than a year old, but everyone here needs to quit their complaining. So what if there's other people in the world with more money than you? So what if you need to hustle a bit more to make it through school?
I grew up pretty poor as well, but I am taking agency of my life; and I am going to finance my education one way or another. I suggest you all do the same and stop worrying about other people having more money than you.
urm8ker gives me a little more hope
Amen! I could care less what someone else has as long as I can take care of my business
RIGHT!!!! I'm tired of people complaining about other people who have money. So TF WHAT!!!It's not their fault they were born into a money. That should encourage you enough get off your ass to pursue whatever means it takes to be financially successful. People are so lazy and hateful I swear.
xicccyx Most people who have money weren’t even born into money. They fuckin’ earned it!
Dearseaveyx On IG truth!! idk why people complain so much about how their financial situation isn’t as good as others.. tbh, me coming from a poor family just motivates me more to work harder in school
this is such a great info video !! I don't think there can be enough info regarding college finances. the struggle is real when it comes to paying for college! keep up the great content !!
Im have to pay for college and the tuition is more than I earn in my weekly benefits. Majority of the scholarships are for higher classmen and perfect achievers.
Timothy Hanson Free grant money is legit I know 2 sites for gov funding and got 20k from both of them. It was a start up and they didn’t need much info. Just needed a small presentation on my idea . It’s yours and don’t have to pay it back. You already know I was going crazy shopping at first lol but reality kicked in and I started my career ...my Cash app $10 for the two site names

Good video. My son got a full free ride scholarship to UC Davis. He loves it as i'm sure your brother does! We are paying out the butt for my daughter to go to Howard University in Washington DC. She's a sophomore so this year so maybe we'll get lucky next year too.
Platinum Rose I'm going to Howard in the fall
Lance Lance Congratulations!! You'll love it. My daughter does and I did many years ago.
How did he get a full ride im looking to transfer next year any information will be helpful ! Thank you
I wanna go to Georgetown university in Washington D.C
is your son OOS?? I just got in UCD as OOS and they want me to take around 56k in loans! ugh!! i'm from a low income family, don't see myself going to UCD now unfortunately :((( it sucks so baddd
thanks for being so honest. This is really helpful, I'm attending community college and it's a struggle but we are blessed to go to school during this time.
I clicked on this video so fast haha love your vids and they're so informational and your how to get an A in Bio really motivated me to start my bio sequence this semester and I'm doing so well so far!! Thanks so much!!😄
Great advice!! Many students do not know how many scholarships go unclaimed every year!! All you need to do is be motivated and apply!
*CORRECTION* They will still accept your FAFSA after March 2nd. However, this comes at a price. When you submit your FAFSA by March 2nd you get priority to receive both the Cal Grant(pays tuition) and Pell Grant(Cash money). Applying any day after the advised March 2nd deadline will only qualify you for the Pell grant. In other words, this means, that you will still get some aid just not all of it if you apply any day after March 2nd. It's still recommended that you apply by March 2nd to get most amount of aid.
This is actually really helpful. My parents are getting a divorce this coming year and my dad isn't going to help pay. Both me and my sister are going off to college the same year, so my mom is going to have to pay for two kids by herself.
Samantha Stanley scholarships/ grants/ work study
K Happy is work study significant in helping pay for college?
Hamida Sanford the pay x the amount of hours you work. Example 60 hours a months times 10 dollars is 600 a month ( 15 hrs per week) that is 7200 per year. Pay and hours vary-- and being in a work study can put you around opportunities w the college staff to learn about more funding help and it looks great on college resume--- more grants and scholarship potential.
Scholarships are unlimited. You can win as much as you want. My daughter won over $20,000 her first year writing essays.
Thank God education in Poland is free...!
+twistedpaula One word... LUCKY!! haha i wish it was in america
🙃
How those high taxes over there
Same in Czech Republic ☺
@@edk487 I'd think having higher taxes would be better than having loan debt
Fafsa deadlines are different for every state.
Oh interesting I didnt know that. Thanks for sharing!
* School
when I completed my fafsa it didnt tell me how many aid I apply for... does the school send me a package with my acceptance letter?
Sonia B Yes, the school will send you their official financial aid award letter. Completing the FAFSA is the just the first step, the school still has to review it and make sure they award you correctly.
im so glad that their is no deadline for it im hopeing possably for fasfa to pay for my tuition for the year and then my 2 scholorships SC hope and Acidimic achevment
I saw this title and was like AMEEEEEEN HONEY YESS
+ApplesThatRead HAHAHA omg YESSS! I love this comment :)
Girl I know this is about college but can you do a makeup tutorial. Makeup on point rn
Thank You So Much. This was very helpful. I have never felt, so confident that I will get good education with no debt. I have done extensive research as a Freshman. So, I sure I will be able to accomplish my goals.
5:00 She had a brother going to college as well and therefore received a shit ton of money for school. 🤦♀️ But she is right. Don’t be a masochist in your essays for scholarships. They want to see you believe in yourself. ❤️
Abby has some good info for self starters. Even if it doesn't help you,it should atleast inspire you to do your own extensive research. I myself took another aggressive pathway to free money to pay for College. I received $100,000 total from only 2 sources. And I already finished my BS in Planetary Science from one University and now I am enrolled and accepted to a another University in New York. I am going for my Masters in Astronomy. What's my money secret? It really is not that difficult. As you can can guess I am Scientist. So education is vital in my career role. But as for the secret you simply have to learn how to sell your dreams and goals to people in exchange for getting them to financially support your education. You must be honest,ethical, and have good intentions. I did not want regulated Government funds. I wanted private funds on my own terms. This is a different type of sales pitch. You don't ask the questions. The funder will ask the questions usually 5 specific questions and determine whether you get a check based off your responses. They like to keep it short and simple.The 5 questions asked to me by one of my funders a Earth Research Institute with a billion dollar networth. I met with the Director in person. Set in her office,drank tea,told a joke or 2 and made her laugh to soften our meeting and put her in a good mood. Then she began. 1. Why do you want to become a Scientist? 2. What do you hope to achieve in the world by following this career path? 3. Why should our Research Institute consider funding your education in Science? (Basically she meant,what's in it for them?) 4. What steps,course studies,memberships and other preparations have I already taken to make myself ready for school and the journey towards this career path? 5. How much money would I like to receive and approximately when?
That's it,no credit checks,no loans,no references,no jobs,no high IQ. Just be you and keep it real. One other thing anything over a $10,000 check, a funder usually likes to meet you in person to feel comfortable with the decision they make. These are private funders,they don't advertise their money availability,they don't make habits of lending or granting money,and they don't stand take pitures with you holding a big check like those lotteries. This is confidential money from the bank to your hand. If you meet in person with a funder,always bring a copy of your resume (CV),and include a wallet size photo they can attach to your resume,and you should have some introductory literature or acceptance letters from the college you seek to attend or are currently enrolled in.
I leave you with an inspiring short story. A friend of mine a Filipina,she was struggling with life in her country and she wanted to come to USA to work and live to take care of her family and sick father. She ask for my advise and assistance to change her life. I said what do you want to do in life. She said I want to be a nurse. I said great,let's make that happen. I showed her how to express herself intelligently in her career field and speak candidly about her dreams and aspirations as a young woman. She began writing her heart filled proposals,she contacted direct high level individuals inside of 5 prominent Hospitals here in USA. One contacted her and said they would like to discuss the possibilities of funding her request for furthering her medical education. She had one problem. She was still in Philippines and they ask to meet her in person. She had no money and no luck and was sad. I got her a plane ticket and paid her Visa fee she was approved quick and on her way to USA. She was going to Chicago. I made sure she had funds to stay a week out there. Next day she message me and say hey they approve me. She ask for $7,000. The Hospital blessed her with a full scholarship and a 30,000 check to help with living expenses. Then she was contacted by a University in USA and they accepted her,and sponsored her with a school visa. She finished school and returned to her country. She contacted them in Chicago from Phil to thank them again for all they did,and how it was life changing. The Hospital said we are not finished with you yet. They offered to bring her back in USA on full work Visa. She offered to pay me back for the plane ticket and visa fee. I said "Nope!,You deserve it! Stay blessed! This was some years back.Now she is living her American dream and happy. :)
Don Marco how do yo find these funders?
Don Marco aw you’re an amazing person
Don Marco wow! This is amazing! I just recently got accepted into 3/5 of the colleges I applied to so far for undergraduate year. I come from a single parent household who also lack financial resources. I plan on going to medical school and becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon. I’m based in Georgia. Do you know any funders or places for me to look into to see if I can find funding? Do you also have a private contact or email where I can reach you at for further inquiries? Thanks!
Amazing! What's your advice for me? My son stopped College for financial reasons. He was studying codes in computers or something like this. He 's in the second year and almost a year that he 's trying to pay the loan back to get another loan to pay College (CUNY). I really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance!

Wow so informative. She is the kind of Chatter box I love. Keep that great info coming. I work at a University and I applied for my FASFA and my Daughter is coming as a freshmen and there was a trick to getting the most money for us both as we both affected each other. I am working on my MBA.
Thank you for talking about this touchy topic. College is important. (In my opinion).
this is an extremely helpful video, thank u SO much for posting it!! I was so confused about grants and how to apply, but this helped me a lot. THANK YOU.

I am 26, always desired a business education with minors in law & engineering, but instead of attacking, I wasted 5 years in Trucking which was my father's idea, (due to him being anti-university education.)
I'm no longer listening to his opinion anymore as everything I've accomplished hasn't made my life any better, in fact worsened it.
I'm looking to you students for advice as I am unable to obtain the right information from my family circles.
The first thing you need to do is fill out the FAFSA, then look at what grants your city and state has. I live in DC so I get DCtag which is 10000 each year. I know MD has senator & delegate scholarships as other states should have.. and search your state's Higher Education Commission. Also check out jlvcollegecounseling.com for scholarships
Matthew633 go to a community college and get a trades degree.
Matthew633 u
Matthew633 go to a guidance counselor at your local college- gather info ask questions
This usually happens the other way around..🤔
thank you so much this was quick and easy to understand! after sifting through videos and hundreds of websites this was so helpful!
This video is awesome! I'm so glad you shared this information! This was great! I also earned a ton of money to go to college. I earned $80,000 in scholarships to go to the University of Houston. I also leveraged smaller organizations and scholarships to fund my education. They were amazing. I applied for scholarships through my university as well which was very helpful. I know what you mean about the applying for the larger scholarships but I was actually very aggressive about how I applied for those larger scholarships and was able to get money that way as well!
Nnenna Umelloh I plan to go to the university of Houston also :)
It helped.. I understand it's tough talking about money. But u still did this vid. Thx a lot :)
Thank You so much for a wonderful video! It had some great points about taking out loan only do it as a last resort. Talking about money is always hard but it's worse when we don't. Collage is hard but lets make it a little easier and less stressful by passing along any info we may have about great scholarships to our friends.
I literally want to cry, most students have to be forced to go to college, but I've been trying to get into college to continue my education for the past year-and-a-half. I am not even done with my associates degree for a community college, and I had to take semesters off to help my family out during the divorce. I just want to be able to go to a university and have a good college experience, but now I have to just look into more community schools that I can't stand, schools with people that aren't even near my age, who are constantly transferring in and out. I just feel like I can't go where I want to go.
Jillian Elise don’t be discouraged ! Community college will save you THOUSANDS of dollars and you can take the classes that you’ll need for your 4 year university at a FRACTION of the cost! I’m going to community college too. I got into a 4 year straight out of high school but I didn’t have the cash to go. It’s okay. This is our journey and there’s nothing wrong with it. We will get through this and get our degrees and transfer 🤩 I know we can!! Keep you head up💕
@@andreacorona78 thank you so much, this makes me feel better about the situation ❤️❤️❤️ hopefully I'll get intoa 4 year soon
I'm in my late 20s, and I'm in the same boat..I have about 3 classes left at a community college, and transfering to 4 year university seems almost impossible cause of the responsibilities that add up as you get older..don't give up!
@@ahmedhashmi3584 that's awesome that you're still pushing through it! I just want to be in a college that's going to further my education there's just so many things that have gone on in my family life that it just feels so complicated
@@jillianelise5 same here...I'm married..worked a few corporate jobs, and can't get decent job opportunities cause of that paper..moved back in with parents, and promised myself to get that paper as a full-time student..do I like it? No, but this is my last chance..once you have kids..it's very very difficult..
I want to thank u for your advice. I decided to return to college last fall to finish my degree. I am a “mature” student who went from working and making decent money from a burn-out industry to full-time student, relying 100% on grants, loans, and scholarship. I applied to my first scholarship July 1, but overwhelmed w how to write my essay. I used some of your tips. Just rec’d notice I am 1 out of 4 recipients of that scholarship.🤩🙏 thank you
I am glad you made to video, it helped me a lot. Please go with your gut and making video that help someone is always the ways to go, in life and on social media. Sometime being from generation x I hate social media and love it, it is a push and pull dynamic. Your parents were right in telling you no student loans, very telling of your parents intelligent with the world we live in today...! Financial stress, Healthcare, and doing to right is very stressful. Keep up the good work, this video help me a lot...
When you don’t qualify for any grants or scholarships because your family makes money but has debt (my mom’s student loans) and they said the earlier you apply the more you get.... I applied a week after it was released
Good job! Helpful. Thanks for putting yourself out there. I wish you success.
Thank you so much for this video! It reminded me to add all of my University of California schools to my FAFSA!
+MissSadieBeauty You're welcome! Good luck!!
@@makeupwarrior1 I added the school to my fafsa and the thing said it was successfully submitted but it doesn’t show up in my school account it still shows that I have to pay the a lot of money. Is there anything u know I could do?
Check out Questbridge! It's a program that "matches" applicants to a partner college (i.e. Emory, Stanford, Pomona) with a full ride for 4 YEARS!! I was a finalist myself and am waiting to hear back from the schools I applied to. Also- applications for the Questbridge College Prep program are due Match 22 while applications for the Questbridge National College Match are due at the end of September. Good luck! :)
The statement about FAFSA is wrong. Most people who send in the FAFSA do not receive grants. They are only eligible for grants if their parents make less than $50k a year. I have never received money from FAFSA other than loans. I am forced to pay for college on my own. The best option for money is to go through the school you are looking on attending. FAFSA also does not care if you do not have family that either can not or will not pay for your college. They make it almost impossible to go to college without taking out a loan.
I'm receiving fasfa and the pell grant, no loans ...
I have a set of triplets in college and we haven't spent a dime or taken out loans. They're winning scholarships by writing essays.
Thank you for sharing, our daughter is going though this process she is trying to apply for as many scholarships as possible but we keep hitting barriers such as "nursing only" etc.
Yes I'm running into the same things ... For example we are white. And he is male and not gay. I'm not being sarcastic this is real. I'm a single mom with 3 kids and no one helps us ...or at least I can't find anything so far.
@@roxanneeverett dang I always thought yall had enough white privilege to breeze through this stuff in life...I'm a black LDS female with disabled poor parents, going into a Male dominated industry (mechanical engineering) and my grades are near perfect. 😧 I'm not saying this to brag, but I never considered that being oppressed would get me farther than privilege. Colleges do eat that stuff up, so the more desperate you "seem" the more you get. Wow. I stand completly corrected.
@@sariahjohnson7237 I wish u the best of luck and congratulations on your great grades👍I myself lost a mother early in life and had to raise my family. God bless u 💞
don't have rich parents, don't have siblings that will go to college, am not eligible for grants due to my family income so..... good for you I guess but this does not help me whatsoever aside from reminding me of petty scholarships
What more did you expect? you can't expect money to come to you. You have to at least try if you want free money. Many scholarships are there & you don't have to be a genius to get them. just tell them what you want to pursue and prove that you can succeed at it.
meadowgaze13 apply apply apply. There a lot of scholarships that are similar to the common app ask you school consoler I live in Illinois in the suburbs of Chicago I am using the community foundation it apply you to 200 different scholarships it's really long but worth it. Then check clubs and organizations. If you are a minority there are a ton for you. As well as if you are German. Which I was extremely surprised about.
Kombuchy they ate merit based scholarships so if u have good grades you can get some money
Not everything is possible, but something is.
Crunkbucha I have a sibling in college and I’m eligible lol
I applied to CSU's and UC's 😁 hopefully I get into the UC's! I have applied to many scholarships and it's so hard to earn the money. It's so stressful sometimes, because I sometimes feel like I have wasted hours of trying to win a scholarship and at the end I don't get anything. Oh well
I'm just curious lol where'd you end up going?
Nestoh applying for a scholarship and not getting it is better than not trying and missing out on possible getting it :)
thanks so much this video is really gonna help me figure out somethings that I thought I would not be able to do.
This is a great video, my daughter is going to Santa Cruz this year and did not get any funds through FAFSA. A great point is that your bring up is which she did not write is her brother is also going to college and probaly that is why she did not get FAFSA.We will try again next year. Great video and thanks for sharing
Ahhh I hate this. Cuz i'm an international and i cant get any kind of scholarships from college. Still exist but just a few of them. Anyway Helpful tho.. Thx
A good way to get started is on *LIVENETJOBS. COM* on this site people can find many ways to make extra cash and this is what most people are doing nowadays. Hope this helps.
Yes you can. Merit scholarships paid off all my tuition- government aid (which you can only get if you're an international but resident, like me) paid less than 5% of it.
Hi, I'm also an international student (permanent resident), I already have a University diploma from Russia but want to start over again, want to shift careers. Did you fill in FAFSA? Ive heard about merit scholarships, how did you apply for one? Thanks!
Elly if you are permanent resident you are not international student. Also international students cannot apply for FAFSA.
I'm going into my junior year of high school and I'm going to Early College. How soon should I start applying for scholarships?
You can start now! But for my school they had a lot of opportunities for Seniors, if you choose to wait a year. Also I would highly recommend doing some volunteer projects.
+mariahXjane Ok Thank you so much!
KyahByDesign start now
As soon as possible, in my opinion.
You should start as soon as possible!! There are scholarships for every grade. Believe me. Bryan Cameron Foundation is a good one. I won over $141,000 in external scholarships that can be used at any school and i'm going to UNC Chapel Hill.
I love your attitude Gabby! Subscribed!
Oh my god I have 3 siblings!!! And we will all be going to college at the same time!!
My parents didnt advice me for shit... I forgive them tho 😒🔫
Maybe they didn't know your options :(
I'm a senior in college and that's true financial aid either works well for you or breaks you ... :)
thank you so much for this video!! I'm so happy I found your channel, I am Japanese as well and I just get soo excited when I find a Japanese RUclipsr (not very often!) and you are so genuine, I love your channel. ❤ I wish you all the best with your future! :)
Aw thanks! No way I feel like theres a ton of Japanese RUclipsrs at there.. but I'm glad we found each other :) Thanks for watching my video and I wish you all the best too :)
when she said read the fine print my eyes got so big lmao going to go read it now
What is it exactly? A book? Can you share please
UCSC! Were you able to get housing covered? I get financial aid probably 3-5000 a semester. But I am wondering what is the probability of getting housing completely paid for? I got accepted into san Francisco and dorms are the same price of a room
Thank you for taking your time to share with us how to go about thses type of situation. Great personality and hope you achieve your goals continuously :). Your school is lucky to have you on campus and good luck and god bless you!

I've become devastated because I have applied to over 50 and I haven't won any of them yet 😭
Have you tried applying for an rfu grant it’s available in 37 states ,my wife was able to get $5k paid earlier this week which she used to push her courier business in Jacksonville
So helpful on so many levels. Thank you so so much for making this video!
Yea - educate me on how to facilitate applying for a scholarship. Gabby - your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, and look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for posting this!!!
You're welcome!
I'm undocumented, the federal government can't help me. I'm not that rich. My dad doesn't have a job. I start college in 5 months. average cost of attendance 23k. No college savings. No work experience. Zero earned scholarships. Did above average in school. I'm financially struggling although I'm not even financially struggling.
Leroy Stevens the are scholarships for undocumented students too... give a try to those
I feel ya...😔😔😔
Community college and ca dream act, bro.
thedream.us is for you then!
Earth Walker apply for as many scholarships as you can possible can. Money isn’t just going to fall on the floor for you. You have to go out there and find it:
Good job kid! Thank you for posting this video. 👍🏿
The thing that sucks is that my family doesn’t know anything about college so I have to do everything myself
Talia hey there, reach out to ray_consult on Instagram his a pro he helped me get a student grant also did same for 2 of my friends too, if your needing help getting one am pretty sure he’ll be of help to you.
Thank you so much Gabby for all the information.
As always, such a helpful video. :)
+Wendy Martinez AW thank you Wendy I'm glad you enjoyed!
FAFSA does not apply to every student in the country, if you are not a US citizen you do not qualify, HOWEVER in the state of Texas there is TASFA which undocumented students qualify for and are able to get the same benefit but through the state.
My parents have always told us to never take out loans whatsoever as well. My sister graduated with her Bachelors debt free! I’m about to transfer to a 4 year university this Summer and I am in need of scholarships! I already applied for Fafsa like I’ve been doing in the beginning of my college career.
I'm starting college and now see why so many people don't finish. It is RIDICULOUSLY expensive and there are so many scholarships that are so specific as to who can apply that it's hard to find any I am eligible to apply for. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. I thought being Latina this would be so much easier lmao
Thank you, it was really in depth with everything you said. I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this information! You were very helpful❤
4:03 how is your university grant so big? Was it your grades? Your entire university grant is the almost total cost of my tuition a semester but I never get enough :(
Chidinma Irabor oof

another tip just because your in college doesn't mean you cant aplly for scholarship
i talked to the finacial advisor at school and he said that we must get "both" loans and bursaries.. welp :v
Lol im so poor
that "lol" cost you $5 xD
I am going to receive $20,000 for 4 years when I grow up if I go to a specific college because I am in a program called Citizen Scholars.
Does FAFSA or the BOG waiver ever stop helping you after a certain amount of units??
I just came across this video and it was very helpful for me thank you for this and all the info!
Thank you for making this video! I'm not really at that stage in my life to be getting scholarship but I am preparing for next year cuz that when I start high school. I already have a high school class this year and have an A but I just wanted to see what I could ask my counselor for next year! Though I'm the 4th child in my family and I have 2 younger siblings and one is in 7th and the other is in 4th, and I want to go to my dream school Yale or Harvard for a Law degree and become a lawyer in family and divorce but my parents are paying off a 10 year loan right now so I'm worried I'll not be able to pay for school and put to much on my parents! This video gave me another reason that I can thanks!
Ang.ie14 Even though you will be starting high school next year, you can still apply for scholarships. There are plenty of scholarships for high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors, not just seniors. Any Rand scholarship is one of them. You can buy a scholarship book or use fastweb.com.
This was such a tremendous help! Thank you so much!
Your video applies to undergraduate level studies within California. I got into a grad school in Chicago. I filled out my FAFSA and am eligible for a $20,500 loan. After understanding how the payment is determined, I’m not accepting the loan. It’s like debt slavery.
Do you think I might be doing something wrong on my fafsa? I fill it out every time it's possible but I never have anything available. I can get loans but not the free grants. My dad says it's because he makes too much money, but I'm not totally sure it's that's it. It seems like your parents are reasonably wealthy as well; do you know how that system works?
literary inthe same boat of u. did u solve the issue? help me
Thank you for this video girl! so helpful
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
Hi, I’m currently at a trade school. I will be done July 31st. A lot of the scholarships I’m looking into have deadlines of July 20th and July 31st. Am I too late for them to apply towards my current education?
This video was really helpful and straight to the point ty

Hi, thank you very much for sharing! Here is a question bother me to invest time for applying scholarship. Will applying for scholarships distract study and maintain a high GPA or it is more likely to help you with better performance on study?
Thank you for posting this extremely helpful video!!!!;0
Hey. This video was so helpful. Thank you. Question ?is it possible to get a good scholarship to help with paying for a ivy league school like Columbia University?
My undergrad years, my dad didn't claim me ok nly my mother. My biological father passed when I was 15, he was also in the military back in the day. Therefore, I received a Pell Grant (free, based off my mother's income) which ONLY paid for my classes. I paid for my books out of pocket and paid for my summer classes out of pocket. I also worked part time during my undergrad years + had a side hustle. I would ALSO go to the Fin Aid office to talk to people about different Grant's that were available due to my GPA (3.0/3.5 GPA/4.0). The program I was in also offered a semester scholarship for my GPA. The fact that one of my parents was a deceased vet provided a grant. Undergrad there are PLENTY of scholarships and grants.
For my master's program am in another state. There are scholarships and Grants I don't qualify for since this is my 1st semester, also Assistantships that I cannot apply for my first yr on this campus.
Grad school is a little more limited.
If you can work on campus that is your best bet, many of the Assistantship and Graduate Assistantships will pay for a semester tuition 2-6k. Some programs only offer this to a student that has been in the program longer. Just depends. For me that is the case, I haven't been there long.
Check out this webside: www.discover.com/student-loans/college-planning/scholarships/directory/general
There is a list of some you can apply for, some deadlines have passed but keep on trying!
If your parents are low income and youre a minority, apply for the gates scholarship. Best decision you'll make.
Fernando Garcia what do you mean minority? Does East Asian counts?
@@winkywinky7310 yeah asian counts just google gates scholarship
I am so upset that my best friend is not going to college with me. We are supposed to move-in in three days and she just told me she's had a change of plans because she can't afford it and was embarrassed. It literally broke my heart when she told me that. Now I'm kinda depressed and don't want to go, even though I'm lucky enough to afford it. 😭💔
Kelly Gonzalez Hope she's going to be ok. I'm dying knowing I may not be able to go due to money problems. I might as well die irl. This life hasn't gone well. Maybe the next will be better.
Grumpy Cat She is doing well, she ended up going to a community college, which is a great alternative! I would have went too if I didn't get accepted. Good luck to you!😁
If you work full time and have bills you wont get much pell grants. I suggest cleping classes and finding scholarships or finding a college that offer tuition waivers.
