How are college freshmen supposed to get money for school sophomore year?

all hope is not lost...the government will always help if they can one way is through fafsa.ed.gov they give grants that are non repayable according to you or your parents income... or you can always take out a loan and depending on your credit you might need a cosigner ( your parent or someone with good credit)..or fastweb.com is a great way to attract scholarships to yourself by filling out your own personal profile like gpa what school you attend your hobbies clubs u are involved in and they will send you email notifications to your inbox as well as part-time job offers around your area.. or simply google.com your major along with scholarship and you can't go wrong from there...but with all these scholarships come with writing essays describing why you are the best candidate for the scholarship so get ready for rough drafts

No you should fill out a FAFSA which is government money that is based on your income or ur family income if you are a dependent student.

Also check out studnet loans most of these are no interest or low interest and you dont pay until 6 months after graduation.

Your real best bet is to go into your universities Financial Aid office or check it online. and make an appointment to go over all of your options. There really are more options than just scholarships.

Freshman year first day tips by me: NERVOUS: For one, it's very normal to be nervous. I can promise you that you won't be the only one. From experience, when months pass by and it's the last week of school, you'll want to know why you were scared to begin with. It's only new adjustments that's all. CLASSES: Choose them wisely, don't go for honors or AP if you know you can't handle it. Go for an elective that you enjoy. FRIENDS: You will meet new friends and by doing that you have to: Be yourself, Come out of your shell, and Get involved (meaning that you should join clubs or sports so that you could meet new people from all grade levels). On the first day, you can always say hi to the person sitting next to you and start up a quick conversation before the teacher begins. Once the teacher begins the class goes on quiet mode. SLEEP: To get some sleep; Just try and shut down your brain. Don't worry about how the next day will turn out. . . trust me it will get there. Just listen to yourself breathing and in no time you'll be asleep. Or think about the downsides like homework, projects, essays and teachers who don't know when to stop talking. FIRST DAY warnings: You'll run into a lot of quiet, loud, mature, immature, nice and mean people. If anyone verbally attacks you as a freshman, just S H A K E it off. Remember that they are nobody or lets just say NOTHING. LUNCH: Lunch can be very overcrowded, but all you need to do it find a friend; whether it's someone you just met or someone from last year, then ask if you can join them. If your aware that a close friend or an acquaintance might have your lunch then plan ahead and ask if you can sit with them on the first day. -There is also a large variety of foods to choose from. WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS ON FIRST DAY: Folder - for all the syllabuses, rules, guidelines, & supply lists that your teacher passes out Pencil - Just in case your asked to do a small activity that involves writing Paper - Again for the small activity Locker items - If your locker was already given out to you then it's best to bring your lock & throughout the week you can bring your locker items. --And any girl/boy accessories that you may need. (ipod, phones, makeup, brushes, etc.) DON'T FORGET: Focus on your grades, try to balance everything out academically and socially. Be yourself. Don't give in to peer pressure. Stay out of drama and hang with the right crowd. Do NOT procrastinate. Study for those exams and tests Show school spirit!
