My girlfriend has been accepted to a state college here in Maryland.
Anyone have any suggestions of places on-line to apply for different types of Financial Aid? We’ve finally finished the FAFSA form (woo-hoo!) but any other money we could get our greedy little hands on would be greatly appreciated.
For the record, should it matter for the particular aid package, my girlfriend is 23, white, and the daughter of middle-class U.S. government workers.
I don’t know how Maryland works, but in Vermont we have VSAC, which provides loans and grants based on state aid to higher education. They can also help you find private scholarships that you can apply for. I HIGHLY recommend doing this. I lucked out (trust me, I appreachiate it,) in that my godfather administers a scholarship fund, so I’m set. But the whole experiance has shown me how much money there is out there that people would rather give away then get taxed. Look into scholarships.
