Not possible. Your yearly financial aid package is split up by your school's academic sessions (2 semesters) and it cannot be transferred to pay any bill that is now owing. End of story.

Modiggi is partially correct. You will still have to present an income tax return for your step-mom and an SSI statement of your dad's benefits for 2008.

You will have to fill out a FAFSA form to see if you might be eligible for Financial Aid. If you have a child and are low income you most likely will be but the MOST you can get in a Pell grant is $5350 per year and in Stafford loans you'd be eligible for $9500. The financial aid process does...

Of course not. You have to be actively enrolled for the school's academic year, you will not be eligible for any type of aid until you are.

You won't be eligible for ANY Federal or State financial aid for 1 class, you MUST be at least half time to receive ANYTHING. And if you're getting Pell grant it is cut by half when you lower your credit hours to half time.

You can go out and procure your very own private loans through private banks or lenders all day long. As long as your credit is squeaky clean and the interest rates don't give you a stroke.

You need an ESL class before you attempt any type of schooling, my friend.

You don't have to BUT you can be eligible for a HOPE or LIFETIME credit on your return if you paid anything toward tuition or loan payments during the year.

The only other aid available to most students are Federal Stafford loans. The ad for Obama sending moms back to school IS A SCAM. There are other scholarships out there for women BUT you have to take the time to find and apply for them.

Once again, Pat: If your previous loans have gone into the default state then it's too late to do anything and you will NOT be eligible for ANY Federal or State financial aid until the debt is paid in full. Another thing to think about: whether or not you're working is irrelevant at this point...

The 09-10 application will only be good until June 30th, 2010. This means that if your semester/quarter starts before this date you could get one semester's worth of financial aid from the 09-10. On July 1st every year, a new financial aid year starts. The 2010-2011 applications will NOT be out...

Probably not. You might want to reconsider as out-of-state tuition is sky-high. You'll be eligible for the same Federal and State aid as you are in your current state through the Pell grant and Stafford loans.

First thing you'll have to do is get a SS number. The FAFSA will not process without one. Go to your local SS Office, it is a pretty easy process. And secondly, you WILL NOT be eligible for ANY Federal or State financial aid until your citizenship status is either resident national or alien...

Yes. You still may be eligible for the Pell Grant also which is need based and basically "free money."

The thing is that for Federal Financial Aid purposes, you will be considered "dependent" until you are 24, or married, or have a child that you support, or are in the military, or are an orphan or are in an abusive home situation REGARDLESS of where you live. The FAFSA form for the 09-10 school...
