Yikes! I recently received my first college bill for one of my children. I thought I was going to have a heart attack! My daughter is a college freshman on a “full” scholarship. Even though her scholarship completely covers her tuition, there’s still $5000+ for dorms, $2500+ for meals, $500+ for books, $2000+ for sorority life, and let’s not forget the “miscellaneous” items.
Okay. So after I calmed down (I was thinking this is the first of four children to go to college), I set out to sort out my finances. In short, I came up short. My next step was to find money. One of the sites I found has a bevy of scholarships which they are offering to college students and they are still available even though school has already started. The site is http://www.fastweb.com/referral/jkharen.
If you have/will have children going to college and you need financial assistance that doesn't require taking out a second mortgage on your home and that you don't have to pay back , I strongly recommend visiting this site. It’s a stress reliever.
Best of luck to you and your kiddos!
