Im 18, work full time and go to school full time

Question

I pay my own tuition and pay rent, im broke i really cant afford anything. I cant pay for food, clothes etc. Is there any way i can get some kind of Financial assistance from the government. I live in NYC in my grandmas upstairs apartment.

Not foodstamps or section 8, like a check or something that can help me with all my expenses

Answer 1

You can try for a grant or get a student loan.  Generally student loans aren't required to be paid back until after you graduate and you'd have to do a search for government grants to find out what you could get.  Usually schools have people that can guide you through this sort of thing.

Answer 2

You should fill out a free application, financial assistance from government.

www.fafsa.ed.gov

Answer 3

Ask your parents for money if they love you they should give you money.

Answer 4

Please do ask your school, and also check Federal financial aid websites.  Good luck!

PS  here's one I found:

Answer 5

Answer 6

congratulations you'll turn out to be very mature and prosperous

bringing all this positive energy to yourself! don't know for sure

how to help you but have you asked your counselors/friends/family

if they know anything? Because you pay rent it couldn't hurt to apply

millions do and why shouldn't you don't be ashamed you're working

like a dog maybe that agency can refer to some other agency...

Answer 7

Check with your Student Services office on your campus to see if their are any upcoming scholarships that you can apply for.  Also, you should fill out a FASFA form if you haven't already- FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid .  You can submit it electronically for free, and all students interested in financial aid for college will need to complete this form. http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.  If you still need more assistance, check out Sally Mae student loans or other sites such as http://www.student-loans.org/studentloan...

I've been there before, and everything will work out!

Answer 8

I would definately try for a grant or student loan.....

my stepdaughter..... lives in an apartment and splits the cost with a friend.... works full time..... pays for other bills and receives grants for school.... she always has about a thousand left over from each semester...... it would make it so much easier for you.... at least check it out to see if you qualify...

Answer 9

GOOD FOR YOU! YOU HAVE INTEGRITY AND GOOD WORK ETHIC! THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM CAN HELP A LITTLE! TRY TO APPLY FOR STUDENT AID, BY FILLING PUT THE  FASA FORM ,AND GET COUNSELOR! YOU CAN G ET PELL GRANTS, AND STUDENT LOANS! GOOD LUCK!  

Answer 10

If you're going to a college or university you can apply for finacial aide so you don't have to pay for tuition costs. Also you can get a student loan to pay for rent and school while your job can pay for food clothes and other things.

Answer 11

You say that you pay your own tuition and you work full time. depending on how much you make, you can qualify to recieve either financial aid grants or low percntage school loan. have you ever applied for a financial aid grant? you might want to look into that. since you live alone, you might be considered independent of parental support and the govt can help you. tryhttp://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. while i was going to college i was able to recieve financial aid grants and later low percentage loans. look into it if  you havent done so already. and if that doesnt work, i don't think there is anything else besides the other means of help you mentioned.  

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

You can apply for FASFA. It is pretty much guaranteed money for college students who need federal financial assistance.

Answer 15

you can go to school part time, work more. you're only 18 no rush to graduate. But if you go back to school make sure u do your internship or something. that seriously counts when u r looking for work.

You could visit like soup kitchens or something or buy discounted food when the supermarket is closing up at night.
