SLAYER Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) If she is graduating in May, you are basically screwed. She needs to talk with her guidance consulor or adviser(if they still have those these days) and see what may still be available to her. The thing you are looking for are scolarships awarded through orginizations and such, yhose you usually apply for after you Junior year, It may be to late for most of those. There should be someone in the school that can answer these questions. Edited November 21, 2009 by SLAYER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 My Daughter- 32 on her ACT and 16 outta 332 seniors Talk with the people at the universities she has applied to, given your daughter's credentials, they ought to be able to find money to help her pay for school. (If she is a first-generation college student (meaning that you and your wife didn't go to college) be sure to bring that up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the webpage of every university she is interested in and look up their information for scholarships and financial aid. You will find that MANY of them offer very good scholarships for students who have your daughter's credentials.

Conversely, she could do 1 year of CC and shop around for Scholarships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just found this out: When talking to schools, do not tell them that you are definitely going to attend their institution. Tell them that you are considering attending them but it will be dependent on how much financial aid/scholarship money/etc. that that schools gives here. The schools are competing for the best students and they will give less money to a student who is going to come there anyway than they would give to a student who is considering going somewhere else.
