I’d love to, but I don’t think I’ll be getting any aid. When I tried some years back, I was offered nothing. I wasn’t making crazy money, middle class income for sure, but a fraction of what’s considered “good” tech money and I was denied aid.
- mikhael28 3y agoI’m not saying get student aid, I’m just saying get student loans. Pay the retail amount, if you have to. https://lendedu.com/blog/loans-for-college-living-costs https://lendedu.com/blog/loans-for-college-living-costs
- mikhael28 3y agoFed offers guaranteed student loans, to my understanding.
- jstarfish 3y agoYou're currently unemployed and made nothing for a very long time. Your experience from a few years ago is no longer applicable. Unless there's something you're not disclosing like a drug conviction or being a dependent of your parents, you should be eligible for Pell grants and other offers. If you're a California resident, vocational school should be near-free for you. There are no criteria for student loans besides a pulse. Stay on your friend's good side and throw a few bucks his way. Getting an apartment with student loans as your only source of income can be tricky (in this market, I'd expect it impossible). You may be aged-out of dorms and they kick you out every summer anyway.
- notsurenymore 3y ago> You're currently unemployed and made nothing for a very long time. Thats true, but iirc, when filling out the forms, they ask for tax information, from two years prior to the year you're applying. > Stay on your friend's good side and throw a few bucks his way. Unfortunately, they're probably moving out of state early next year, which is why I'm particularly. worried.
