RT rel=”nofollow” Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University blocks access to Web site over financial aid story

In the article, “Financial Aid: How it works,” this article talks about how the majority of full time college students end up receiving financial aid and how financial aid works. In the article I learned the federal government or the colleges use formulas to analyze the families financial circumstances and compare them to other families financial circumstances. I learned that there is three types of financial aid and that is grants and scholarships, loans, and work. I also, learned that colleges with higher costs can be affordable. For example, If the college cost $25,000, you can be eligible for $20,000 in aid. The article made me think about how I can get financial aid and how I'll be able to afford going to college. Financial aid is a big help for college students and lets college students go to any college they want without worrying so much about the cost.

Sams,
This is a great example of price discrimination. It's especially interesting because so many students around the world including students in our school receive financial aid, and it could be that our peers have a financial aid based tuition system. I think this is quite a fair form of price discrimination most importantly because, all students deserve the right to education even if they come from less wealthier families. Financial aid gives the opportunity to such children to proceed with education despite their lack of funds.

Oh Religion is just loaded with hypocritess.

Most schools have a process whereby you can appeal your financial aid award. Obviously, these procedures vary by school: some schools only offer need-based scholarships, so your appeal at those school should reflect that;
other schools may prefer an appeal outlining your academic qualities. As such, make sure that you know the selection criteria for the scholarship for which you are applying, and focus on those areas.

Keep in mind that your Financial Aid administrator has received hundreds — if not thousands — of appeals over the course of his or her career; he or she has heard nearly every story you can conjure. With the exception of a few schools, there is usually never enough money to go around and while most Financial Aid Officers would love to grant every legitimate appeal, they often simply can't.

With this in mind, start your letter by briefly explaining who you are and what you do (your major, year in school, etc.). Then specifically state why you are writing (that you are appealing a scholarship decision, etc.).

The remainder of the letter should detail your reasons for appealing. This will be the most important section and yet the most difficult to write. Above all, BE HONEST. Describe your situation in detail; quantify. For example, if you are a starving college student, don't simply say that. Let the addressee know how much money you have to contribute to your education, what strains there are on your finances, etc. Think about the information you provided on your FAFSA, your CSS Profile, or your school's institutional Financial Aid application. Is there additional information that you want your school to know about your finances. Perhaps the 2005 tax information on your FAFSA does not reflect dramatic changes that will occur in 2006. If so, describe the changes you anticipate (a parent's job loss, the birth of a child/sibling etc.).

When you have written down your circumstances, look them over and ask yourself whether these circumstances are unique or if they could apply to numerous other students. If your appeal is too general, it is less likely to be approved.

Watch the tone of your letter. While in any interview and with any application it is important to set yourself apart from other applicants, do not make assumptions or judgements about other applicants/students. If you feel you are a deserving scholarship applicant, you probably are. Be confident and proceed with the letter — but know that there are bound to be other deserving applicants out there.

One final thing: Make sure that you have covered all your bases. If a Financial Aid office receives a heartfelt, compelling letter from a student but then looks in the student's file only to find that she/he hasn't filed a FAFSA (or has another incomplete application), that office may end up asking "Why we should go to such great lengths to help a student who isn't willing to help him/herself."

Once you have done all you can to obtain additional institutional and federal (and maybe state) aid from your Financial Aid Office, it's probably time to look for outside scholarship awards. Peruse the many search engines online to see if you sound like a candidate for any private (or "outside") scholarship funding. Try these sites:

But make sure that you also check your local library, your high school, the school you plan on attending, and any organizations/clubs/churches to which you belong.
