Title: I need help finding finacial help. lol
Post by: Cammodude on January 17, 2004, 07:27:27 pm
I'm in kind of a predcament here.  Basically what I'm trying to do is find non-loan finacial aid for college.  Grants, scholarships, and things to that effect.  The problem is that I was homeschooled, and I'm already finished with my high-school education.  I looked up things like Fast-web, but I can only find a scrap or two of help.  Almost everything litterally requires me to still be in highschool  So my question is this:  Does anyone know of any finacial aid resource sites for people "in-between" things?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My local community college offers a (much) reduced rate for kids under 18 years old.  This includes home-schooled kids.  Does the college in your area offer the same thing?  Also get in touch with your local home-school organization, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Have you looked into a  Pell Grant ?  It's from the Federal Government and based upon financial need.  It probably won't pay for everything, but it's a big help
