Grants, Fellowships, Scholarships, Work-study, etc.

[Kolombo]

Are you currently doing a work-study on your campus through your FAFSA?

Are you receiving any Graduate grants or fellowships?

Have you gotten any merit or sports scholarship offers?

Do you receive any State grants like NY state's TAP and GA's Hope in addition to your Pell grants?

Are you part of any minority or disadvantaged family financial program in your school?

Do you take Stafford & Perkins loans?


This is a forum, so we might as well exchange useful information.

I remember getting FSEOG (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) when I was in school, around $1200 per year. Do they still offer that?

[FAH1223]

Pell Grant, Univ of MD scholarship, Senatorial Scholarship and a Educational Assistance Grant is what I got last year... so total was like $10k and my tuition was $8,000

this year i got about $12,000 for the upcoming school year

I used to get Hope scholarship when I went to UGA along with Pell & FSEOG.

Now I'm prowling for Graduate grants & fellowships. There are decent fellowships offered throughing research and being a TA.

Even RA's on campuses score free room & board.

You can get scholarships here. My tuition fees were paid for through income assessed grants.

I get nearly £3000 in a form of a grant from the governement.
I recieved a bursary for £4000 for getting my expected grades ...then I got a further £2000 from the university, for no real reason

Plus tuition fees are only £3000....So i get £6000 to spend on whatever!
Gotta love free money

Only £3000? LOL!

Ms.Erudite:-Aren't the bursaries £3000? I got scholarship for £2000, and they gave me a further £1000. Funny thing is, I still took loans, but they'll be waivered, so it's all good.

My tuition fees are only £1200. They increased it to £3000 in 2006.

are you taking the piss bursary is max £1000 in the UK also the grant and the bursary are not payed one go, and you need books, pay accommodation fees etc etc

jokes, £4000 kulaha

snoop12:- She said she got them for her expected grades, I think she's referring to scholarships. Bursaries are not depended on grades. I made a mistake by adding an extra '0' it's actually £300 for bursaries - and it's for books etc.

OSAP?

I worked two jobs to pay for school....I wasnt going to be in debt bc of school.
But there were some burcerys and scholarships that I applied to outside of the school...some were community based etc etc.

[snoop12]

Lol ok you guys go to some next Unis

i get £1000 each year depending on my grades

another £1200 bursary depending on my punctuality and attendance

+ £3000 for grant

total sum £5200, tuition is a little over £3000 so i will have £2200, but i will also get money from my relatives who are proud of me

[snoop12]

Firefly that makes sense most bursary payment are £500, i think they under payed you or were you missing classes

i know bursary changes with Uni but the usual Max is £1000 that is in UK, i just got lucky
