Hello!

Given the ever growing need for Occupational Therapists, I put together an article with a list of financial aid options for those hoping to enter the field. If you wouldn’t mind, could you share my article with your readers?

Here's the post:

Many thanks!

Oh boy oh boy, Liberty has a whole subdomain of videos talking about financial aid. It’s going to be a looong day…

caldem, i also went to a private college, on scholarships and luck and working up to 3 jobs. and yes, i'm grateful for the financial aid available. my husband and my sister went to UC berkeley, both working themselves through, with financial aid.

the point here is that financial aid is not keeping up. and the costs are so high now that no student can get by without very serious financial help. my parents contributed $2000 to my post-high school education, and then i was on my own. and in my day, i could get by without enormous loans. that is not really true now.

COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID – How to switch over the financial aid when transfering? –

To answer your question,
if you or your parents DO NOT have the money to pay for the entire cost of your schooling and are going to have to take out a student or parent loan to cover the costs then YES, you need to fill out the FAFSA and the CSS.

If you DO have the cash saved, then no need to do the fafsa or the CSS. Be aware however, that some scholarships will have a "need' component to them and will ask for your EFC number or proof you filled out the fafsa. In other words, they not only want to know that you have a great GPA and admission test scores, they also may give a higher priority to those who come from a poor family. You can choose to skip applying for those or go ahead and do the fafsa and apply for those scholarships anyway and hope for the best. It's up to you.

PS: don't make the mistake a lot of parents and kids do when choosing and budgeting for college. Don't forget you will be in college for FOUR years so choose a school that relates to how much they have saved. Example: Mom and Dad have 40,000 in your college savings account. Since you will be in school for FOUR years, this means you can afford a school that costs 10,000 a year. Many people make the mistake of choosing a school that costs 40,000 for ONE year and don't quite grasp the concept of not blowing it all on their first year. Kinda stinks to see them spend that kind of cash for the first year and then have nothing left for subsequent years.

I work for Children's Administration in the U.S., providing financial aid for college to former foster youth. Two of the youth on my caseload had mental health breakdowns and had to be hospitalized last quarter. They had to withdraw from school, lose their financial aid and find someone to live with while they recovered. There are no breaks for those with mental health issues.

I am so sorry she responded to you in such a way. God works in each of us. Who am I to say what He should be working on in you and at what time? Do you see what I mean? If God pointed out all my failings at once, I don't think I could take it. It is hard sometimes, I know, not to take someones words to heart esp. if they hurt but you should be concerned about what God thinks of you not a stranger.

Matthew 7:3-5 (New International Version)

3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Remember, no one is perfect.
If we were, we would be Jesus! : )

God Bless

RT rel=”nofollow” POLL: Should the U.S. provide financial aid to Libya for reconstruction? Vote:

First off, just so you know they arent really using out of state students to "subsidize" in staters. In state tuition is lower because those kids parents have been paying taxes in that state. Since public universities are just that, public, they are required to accept more in staters because their money actually funds most of the school. You would have paid more because your family doesn't contribute to the funding of that school through their taxes, which is why private colleges don't have different tuitions for in/out of state kids.
So In my opinion, no you shouldn't write that letter. Besides, they probably wouldnt read it or really care. The colleges know that they arent getting all of the most talented people, but they dont care cuz they get more money.
