A dream filled with parties, intelligent people and freedom. However, it all comes at a price. A hefty price. What’s a small-town student from rural Georgia to do when faced with a bill with too many zeroes to comprehend? When students can’t pay, financial aid paves the way. Financial aid is offered everywhere and is stressed so many times that students can purge on the very thought of it. Scholarships, grants, aid. What’s the difference, and why is it so important? Financial aid is a fine art that can be carefully dissected. Through financial aid, students can actually go to college for free. Obtaining financial aid is easy. Students interested in financial aid have assumingly already looked into universities and are seriously concerned with the price. At the University of Georgia, the average in-state undergraduate attendee has a total bill of $37,946 at the end of the nine month academic year. This number is frightening to any student, but financial aid blankets the shock. One scholarship that keeps most students optimistic is Georgia’s Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally or HOPE. The scholarship is available to Georgia residents who graduate with a GPA of a 3.0, or for technical diplomas a GPA of 3.2. While many numbers are thrown around about exactly how much HOPE pays, there really isn’t one single figure. HOPE awards money based on what institution the student is attending and how many course hours the student is enrolled in, along with a $300 book allowance. These credentials only apply to the class of 2011, the last class to graduate LCHS with two different diplomas. Next year, the HOPE GPA will be based on a 3.0 scale for every student. The HOPE scholarship can also be confused with Georgia’s HOPE Grant. The grant offers money based on the actual cost of the students college and there is no minimum GPA to receive it. While other financial aid programs or student loans have to be paid back, grants do not. “A grant is a gift,” senior counselor Annette Oliver said. The HOPE Grant has binding restrictions, though. Students can only receive the grant if attending a technical college or certain certificate programs at two year colleges. It pays for tuition, mandatory approved fee, and provides a book allowance. Local scholarships and grants can be found on the Lee County school system website. Helpful links about calculating student’s HOPE GPA are also found on the site. To apply for financial aid, the school advocates filling out a free application for federal student aid. The FAFSA is a federal document that determines a student’s true need for financial aid. The form looks at different facets of a student’s life to assess the amount of money he or she should receive. The FAFSA helps students obtain the funds for college that they otherwise couldn’t afford. The FAFSA should be turned in as early as the first of 2011. Websites like gacollege411.org and fastweb.com can help students locate the funding needed. Money is waiting for worthy students to snatch up and use to better their education. All students have to do is look and be open to every possibility. “They need to do their research,” Oliver said. Visit the financial aid office at your potential college, gather information, and apply early. Ignoring financial aid is a crime punishable by bills and tons of post-collegiate debt. e _College.com Frequently Asked Questions: financial aid Frequently Asked Questions: financial aid How do I pay for college?

When college comes to mind students think about leaving home, meeting new people and learning in massive classrooms. Students have to think about how they will pay for college. When thinking about the cost of college people mainly focus on the actual cost of the school’s tuition. Text books, school supplies, dorm furnishings and other essentials can take a ‘nice chunk of change’ out of your pocket. Here are some tips to help stretch your budget. Do not wait until the last minute -- Some college items • cannot be found very easily year round. When stores put out their dorm items buy those hard to find items immediately. Once stores are out of stock they tend to not order more supplies. (Example: Twin extra- long sheets are normally only around during college shopping season.) Talk to your roommate(s) -- Call your roommate about • sharing expenses for certain things. (i.e. refrigerator, microwave, television, stereo, etc …) Try to buy as much as possible before arriving at • school -- Items at campus stores can be pricier than supplies found at home. Forget new buy used -- Instead of buying brand new • books, try to buy used books in good condition. Many college towns have used book stores. The internet also features a multitude of used book websites. Have a list- Organization is very important. A list will • prevent over buying andItems that students overlook when shopping for college: Crates (Storage) -- Great for storage in limited dorm room space A formal outfit -- Necessary for any formal event or a job interview. Iron --To keep a sharp and crisp look. Mattress Pad -- Make those hard dorm regulation beds feel more comfortable. Power Strip -- Maximize the number of power sockets in the room. Quarters -- For vending and washing machines Reusable Water Bottle -- Great for the environment and your pockets. Shower Caddy -- To carry all your hygiene products to the bathroom in one trip. Vitamins -- To keep your body functioning at its best Alarm Clock -- Punctuality is key to a successful college career. Safe -- Make sure all your valuables are locked up when you are away from your room.
