I'm sure someone down here knows a friend of a friend who heard of some guy who got some financial aid for college once. Or maybe it's you. We've filed our FAFSA, we've (he's) gotten a couple of scholarships, and there's still the menace of "Unmet Need". The next step is loans, ugh.
I would love to hear about your experiences with financial aid. I am interested as much in success stories as I am abysmal failures (bonus points if you tell it in a humorous way
). I'd especially like to hear about student loans and grants, and, *sigh*, parent loans.
Well? Feel like boasting? Let's hear it. Is yours a cautionary tale to frighten students and parents alike? Now's your chance. How
did you pay (are paying) for school anyway?
