Applying for Scholarships and Grants
Let's suppose that you have a teenager who will shortly be graduating from high school. You will be proud of course, the same as any other parent. whose child is graduating from high school. It is one of those milestones of life that they have successfully passed, in spite of all the financial problems that you have probably experienced. It is time to be happy, for you have fulfilled your role of giving your child a brighter chance in life.
However as most would say, a high school graduation is not the be all and end all. In deed, it is only the beginning of tougher challenges that await you and your child in the following years of college education.
Other than giving scholarships to deprived students, the agenda of the institution includes giving big contribution to black colleges and those offices who provides scholarships to minority students.
If you honestly think you might be faced with financial problems again, it is important that you know the different financial aid programs available for your college-bound child. Just keep reading to learn the financial aids that are available to you:
A Grant: it is the first kind of college financial aid that you should apply for. It just requires you to complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application form. Once the application has been sent, it will be checked and if your child qualifies, he/she will be entitled to the full amount of what he/she has applied for. At this moment, you need not do anything much further except provide the name of the college or university that your child wants to enrol into.
A Scholarship: Despite the fact that scholarships are mostly meant for students who have the 'brains' but not the 'money', not all college scholarships are intended for academics. Students who do not have the best academic record can still qualify for many other college scholarships. There are college sports scholarships, community service work scholarships, social involvement scholarships and many others. These are just a couple of the different types of scholarships for your child if he / she is not that academically talented.
Student scholarship is not aimed to completely relieve the students and their families from paying coaching charge. The aim of providing scholarship is to support the families to reduce the burden of paying coaching charge of their students. The institution provides an average of $15000/ year to a graduate student. An undergraduate student will get an average of $7000/year only.
The students can get an on campus job or try to get any other scholarship in addition to the scholarship provided by Gate institution. This will relieve them from the burden of student loan and can peacefully complete the module. - 23199
