Question

What are some good questions to ask about financial aid and scholarships when visiting a university?

Answer 1

Usually when you visit a university there is a section of the day that is devoted to financial aid.  You should get information from the speaker(s) there and also packets with additional information.  If your questions are not answered, you should ask:

-What type of scholarships does the school offer?

-What is the average amount of financial aid students receive?

-What requirements are there for being eligible to receive aid?

Answer 2

whats the percentage of students that get financial aid

does the college offer scholarships

Answer 3

I'm not sure if it is the same in the US as it is in Canada but in Canada financial aid is regulated through each province.  Recently in Ontario OSAP has begun offering a **** load of entrance scholarships that are all listed on their web site.  Each institution will also have their own bursaries so ask someone in the financial aid office who is in charge of scholarships and bursaries and get their contact info.

Answer 4

What their policy is about dropping classes and if they drop you out of all your classes if your financial aid doesn't go in on time.

Answer 5

Well me personal, I don't think you should ask for financial aid.  They usually want you to be in the poor house to get it.  I got a full ride with just ok grades (a 2.8.)  Use any aspect of your personality, race, religion, or major that sets you apart from other students to get a scholarship from your school.  It dosn't even have to be a big difference, it could be that you are left handed, or play chess, the smallest thing could get you a scholar ship from your collage.

If you have any questions write me.

Happy Hunting.
