    There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.

    Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.

    Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

    With a student visa, you are still a foreign student and you have to pay foreign student tuition fees. You need to be a landed immigrant or refugee. You do not need to be a citizen to pay normal tuition fees. You need to qualify for being a landed immigrant or refugee, then you can pay the normal student fees.

    How can you become a landed immigrant or refugee? Legal ways take a long time, but the fastest legal way is to get married and then apply for landed immigrant status. This would still take 6-10 months, if you got married right away and then applied for immigrant status. I'd pay the higher tutition rates, cause you have to pay the head tax (is that still in effect). The head tax was around a thousand.

    Good luck.

    The predicament is that academics are paid situated on their tenure, no longer on their potential or their outcome. I have over and over again visible pupils bored to tears by way of a instructor that hates their task and pretty much is handiest there to decide upon up a paycheck. I am desirous about maintaining and paying good Good academics, however so long as they're unionized, that's certainly not going to occur.Teachers must be like another career. You must receives a commission for efficiency. Why do you believe individuals are so disappointed with the horrendous stages of CEO pay for the men who ran their firms just about into chapter 11? Make academics in charge for outcome...and pay them consequently.

  • Just coming out of college with over $50,000 USD in debt staying away from student loans is your best shot. Look in your local community for money (churches, foundations, etc.). They say there is free money out there to go but I didn't see any of it. Go to a local university around your house and look in their book of scholarships that might give you a good idea of where to go.

    it is really hard for you to go to school and pay less now. I have the same problem. But I think you should find some corp. or some sort of org. to sponsor you. That is what I am doing right now.

    Call the school and ASK them.

    Some schools will give you a free education if you teach something.

    Some will give you free schooling if you work for them full-time.

    Scholarships.

    But call the school, speak to a DEAN as well as the financial aid office, and ask them.
