Finding Financing to Attend School

Filed Under Finance

I have always wanted to attend college or some post-secondary education institution after I was done high school. I guess it was always a dream of mine to make something out of myself, and I thought school was the answer.

Out of all the potential career choices I could make, I decided that for me, I wanted to study the culinary arts. I figured it would be a pretty secure career choice, since everyone needs to eat, right?

But the challenge that I was going to face was how I was going to pay for school. Unfortunately for me, my parents never thought that saving money for their child for college was important, so I was not going to be able to count on them to help me. I did have a bit of money saved up from mowing lawns, but I knew it was not going to be close to enough money.

My only choice was going to qualify for student aid, and I hoped that it was going to be a possibility for me. I knew that my parent’s income was pretty low, but I hoped that it was low enough. I filled out the application anyway, and I am waiting to hear whether or not I qualify.

I just hope that my dreams of going to school are not shattered by not having enough money – my whole life depends on it.
