Okay, my parents are very strict about education, im only a sophomore in high school and they are already drilling me about how I need to start thinking about college and all that fun stuff.

How to receive a Pell Grant?

Pell Grant



Ok. I applied for a Pell Grant for my college. But, the financial advisor denied it because both of my parents filed for the head of household in their tax return. Is there another way for me to receive the Pell Grant without them both filing for head of household. They also don’t want to file joint returns.

What’s the safest way for a full-time college student to go about getting/obtaining credit ?

About College



I’m a full time college student with two part-time jobs. I’m not making that much money but I will be gradutating from college (again) sometime soon with my BA this time. I know that I’m going to need credit in order to do alot of things. I have several bills that I pay automatically and on time every month with my check card, but to my knowledge that really doesn’t mean much. The safest approach to gaining credit that my bank informed me about was to purchase gas/groceries with my check card. However, I dont have a car at this time. Along with that I dont have a steady grocery purchasing schedule, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Pell Grant



I’m working on my 2nd bachelors, didn’t receive a pell grant last year when i started working on the 2nd degree. Now, I just emailed my school to see if I was eligible for aid and when I would receive my award letter. I got a response saying I was eligible for a pell grant and other aid. What’s this all about? I didn’t think you were.? Are there new rules about pell grants this year?

I am a college student who is thinking about studying abroad at NYU?

About College



NYU offers a special program for U.S college students to study at NYU to take courses where the college student’s prosepctive school does not offer. You take classes there and they let you study with current NYU students. You do get credit and it transfers to your prospective school I am
strongly thinking about it. It seems very beneficial and plus you get to know your way around New York City. I have not told my parents yet.

I am thinking about studying at Tisch’s School Of Arts.
