It's really too bad that being "middle class" excludes qualified students from entering an ideal college. FAFSA is so ridiculous and is unrealistic in its calculations to provide financial aid. Unless you're destitute, FAFSA funds aren't available to most people.
 

 This is false.


no, its not. i'm not qualified for work study. i'm only qualified for loans, and i don't need loans, i need grants and scholarships. i'm getting not enough money that actually helps (loans do not count as help in this scenario because they really don't)


Because you fall in an income bracket that disqualfies you for need-based aid. There are still many ways to pay for school if you can't get need based aid. there are thousands of independent scholarships you can get involved with that can offset the costs. They take ome hustle to get, though.

the problem is, the amount of money that is necessary needs to be at least partially supplemented by the school. i'm appealing to my favorite for more money. if i can get workstudy even, i'd accept anything.

No one wants loans. But the thing is, if you want to go to the school of you first choice, you need to take out some loans. It's irresponsible to expect your parents to pay for YOUR education. You're an adult, are you not? It's time to pay for your own education.

lets just say, my family makes enough and i wasn't looking for full rides because the schools i like are actually competitive.
