TO STUDENTS.....

You want an education???

work for it, apply for student loans and pay for ever and ever...

We paid plus student loans...you want it ...then EARN IT...

I AM DAMN TIRED OF THIS FREE HAND OUT, WORTHLESS PEOPLE WANT..

by the way don’t these kids need decent grades to get in college, don’t they still have to apply and GET ACCEPTED?? been awhile since we did all those forms so maybe things have changed..
the days of being Proud are over...I’m feed up with the obama’s..

While entering debt-slavery to the Federal government to pay for one’s education is a very bad idea, the fact is she’s right: most institutions of higher education have streamlined their data collection in giving out scholarship, fellowships, assistantships, grants and the like that have any specification of financial need in the eligiblity requirements to use the FAFSA as the means of collecting the data.

Unless a student has been offered an athletic scholarship or a scholarship based solely on the basis of academic attainment or some peculiar non-need based criterion (there are strange scholarships that turn on being from a particular county, the descendant of a particular person, attending a particular church,...) not completing a FAFSA means you’ll pay rack-rate wherever you’re going to school.

They won’t pay and won’t care, they’ll have crappy credit anyway - until an EO that demands all credit scores be equal.
