-- Posted by TheMagus at 9:36 pm on Sep. 1, 2007 So, I'm a junior in high school this year. I've arranged my credits so I'll finish high school at the end of this year, as well as 15 university credits. My worry is: as an early grad, many scholarships seem to be only available to those 17 years old and older. I will not turn 17 until May of next year. Will this significantly impact my chances of receiving financial aid? -- Posted by Spasty at 9:39 pm on Sep. 1, 2007 It can. If you are able to, stay in high school and get free college through them. -- Posted by TheMagus at 9:42 pm on Sep. 1, 2007 Quote: from Spasty at 9:39 pm on Sep. 1, 2007 It can.

I'll have 15 this year, and thus, it's of very little use to me to stay for one more 3 credit class.
