YESS COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID!!!!
    #10119016 - 04/06/09 07:42 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

So UMASS Amherst just offered me one HELL of a bargain.... being poor has paid off for my college education, that's for FUCKING sure...

Expected Family Contribution:
0.00


Total Financial Aid Eligibility:
22,408.00
Total Financial Aid Awarded:
22,408.00

The bold ones are the only hitches. The Work Study would be have to be paid off by having a job while in college. However I'm not going to complain about that, I'm not a lazy ass :yesnod:

Every other expense is taken care of with grants except the 2 loans. But notice the loans only total 3758.00 a year... between my summer job, my legal guardians, and my parents we can easily pay that off!!

Which means I can EASILY graduate debt free in 4 years!!!

Send me the good vibes!! I'm quite excited...

Awesome man!!

The govt. finally realized my parents are poor enough to not be able to pay for my college (their EFC was like 20,000 which is bullshit, but this year it's only 1,400) so I'm finally getting a Pell Grant (5th year of college)

Everything else has been loans, i'm pretty high up in debt because of college loans.

I'm really happy to see that Pell Grants can be that high. I thought they would only be $2-3000
