Federal Pell Grant ????Grant ????5,550.00 ????5,550.00
State University Grant ????Grant ????5,472.00 ????5,472.00
Federal Work-Study ????Work/Study ????3,500.00 ????3,500.00

$15.5k/year in grants/scholarships/work-study.
Means all my tuition/housing is paid for without the need for any loans.
Simply being over 25 years old gets me the bulk of the money.
My 3.5 GPA got me the State grant and the University's recruitment scholarship.
Will be working for campus IT Support Services for the last $3500/year.
