I'm shipping out to boot camp in the Marine Corps reserves. Once I finish I'll be transferring my credits to the University of Oklahoma to finish school. Assuming my parents don't help me (which they probably won't) what are my options?
I know my Reserve Select GI Bill will give me around $7000 with tuition assistance and I'm not sure what kind of scholarships I will get. I'm hoping to change my residency status to Oklahoma from Louisiana (been in school in Oklahoma for a few years and enlisting in Oklahoma) but if worst comes to worst then oh well. I'm also getting married in 2011, will that qualify me for certain grants and whatnot? Will private loans pay for the difference? How much can I borrow with private loans? I want to get this figured out asap so if anyone has any helpful hints that would be great!
