...Some people believe you need to have student loans to pay for college. That is not true, there are other ways you can pay for college without going into debt. One way is to apply for grants and scholarships and fill out your FASFA applications. Another way is to get a job and pay your way through college. The first way you can pay for college without student loans is apply for grants and scholarships and fill out FASFA applications. A grant is from the state or federal financial aid that you do not have to pay back. You also do not have to pay back scholarship money. Companies your parents work at could offer you scholarships, or even a company you work at. You can get scholarships for playing sports or academics. Also, FASFA can help get you...

...Financial aid office is located on the second floor of the student center. In the office there is always advisors to help people like Allison who have no idea where to start when it comes to financial aid. Mrs. Susan Jones in the financial aid department at Angelina College expressed, “66% of Angelina college students receive some form of financial aid.” Financial aid comes in different forms such as scholarships, Hazelwood Act, and work study. When getting ready to fill out scholarships it is recommended to fill out FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) first. This application indicates whether or not a student is eligible for certain scholarships or other forms of aid. This document includes information about how many people live in the household, how much the parents income is, and gives the government a basic understanding of the applicants financial status and how much help they need. At Angelina College, “75% - 80% of students who completely fill out FASFA receive some form off aid.” One of the most known forms of financial aid is scholarships. Scholarships can be awarded for different things such as athletics, academics, and what career field the student is deciding to get into. Athletic scholarships are usually awarded to athletes by colleges to get them to play a certain sport for their school and they usually are full rides meaning that everything will be paid for. Academic scholarships are awarded to students based on academic excellence. Students applying for...

...The authors of “The Myth of the Student Loan Crisis” believe that there is no student loan crisis. The authors of “Here’s Your Crisis: Student Loan Debt Isn’t a Myth” disagree. College tuition plays a big part on what school a student will decide to go to. Many students are offered scholarships or financial aid for the school of their choice. The student loan crisis is not a myth, but it is also not completely true. Nicole Allan and Derek Thompson are the authors of “The Myth of the Student Loan Crisis.” The authors want to get the point across to readers that students receive financial aid and student loans are not as bad as what people make them out to be. “Horror stories of students drowning in $100,000+ debt might discourage young people...

...For our group assignment at the beginning of the semester, we chose to look at students starting college and not finishing a degree. In other words, we considered sociological reasons that students drop out of college. We chose this topic because it is something that we see around us, since so many students choose not to finish college. Although each of us has a different outlook on this topic, since we have different experiences and personal values, we all agree that dropping out is a problem in our society. Originally, we created a fishbone diagram to show what we assumed before research. We said that demographics such as gender and location, resources like income or high school preparation for college, and differences in cultural expectations...

...could be removed, the PO said that she would, however, if anything happens she would place the child in detention through Christmas and if she found out the mother knew about it and did not report it to the PO, she would file charges against the mother. In this case, (which I have followed) the mother is more like a friend and does not enforce rules and boundaries at home, she also seems to be too busy to help her daughter who is in danger of overdosing on drugs. The mother does not want to go through drug court due to the commitment, this causes a serious barrier for this child to get the treatment she needs. This child possesses many strengths: she is on track to graduate and has a plan to go to college, we disused helping her with her FASFA and college visits, this is also an incentive to stay clean and regain her driving privileges. She has also maintained her employment which is amazing with everything she has been through. During and after this meeting, she seemed like a new kid vs the times I have had an interaction with her. She has been complying and passing a few drug tests, she also seemed happy and more alive, she was smiling and laughing. I do not know how to explain it but her face was glowing – she just seemed like a new person. The PO did warn me- that this is not the first time she has been doing good and then went back to her way. They are looking for long-term success. I will remain hopeful that she will succeed this time. These activities relate...

...educational institution where many students with particular aims, duties, and privileges go to continue their education. Half or maybe even more than half the students go into college ready to begin their future. While the other half go in ready to learn, but end up in the other direction. Not many high schools are preparing their students for college, so not knowing what to expect can cause problems for these students. The most common major problems a college student can face are debt, depression, and time management. Many students start and most likely end college in debt. Everyone is told that they should go to college to build their career, but what they leave out is there’s a big chance that you’ll become in debt to your school. There is FASFA if you qualify and scholarships, but sometimes that’s not even enough. That is when school loans come in handy. A loan is a thing that is borrowed, especially a sum of money that is expected to be paid back with interest. Not everyone is educated or given all the information needed to know about taking a loan and its consequences, so there will always be that one student who will take all the loans they need. In the end that person will end up having to pay all those loans back. Depression is another major problem when it comes to college students. Many colleges do a wonderful job at trying to get everyone involved in clubs or social events, but there is always that few percent of people who do not know how to interact. College can be one...

...unemployed and this is very hard for me especially being a young lady who wants things. Luckily I have wonderful parents who are willing to help me as long as I continue to do the right thing and stay in school. Being unemployed has a major impact on the society. Having high unemployment rates means that pay rates will be down because there is a higher number of people that are competing for the same type of jobs because they have no option (Sims, 2004). Unemployment also has an affect on the youth as well. Having youth who are unemployed creates a higher reliance on many social programs such as food stamps and welfare. Society impacts the things that go on around myself and other people. Unemployment affects things such as compensation for the FASFA, and the price of food (Algrem, 2008). Stress is a major factor that comes from being unemployed. My family is one of those affected. We own our own auto repair shop and even though we as a family are not unemployed it still affects us because nobody can get the repair needed for their car done if they have no money. This causes stress on us because we have bills just like everyone else. The impact of being unemployed cause’s people to loose their...

...week that is common for most fast food jobs that would leave them with $405 a week before any taxes have been taken out. This low of wage not only creates a culture of dependency on programs such of Social Security, but it does not allow for horizontal mobility a person simply cannot live off what little income that they make in order to keep up with the cost of living in their states let alone take the next step to improving their lives by breaking out of the lower classes such as the working class. Another aspect of this is that the people who try to further their education although facing these adversities, don’t know how to obtain the funds necessary. Whether that includes applying for grants, or even obtaining financial aid through FASFA and other government education programs. In the past few years more, underlying issues have also contributed to people in the lower social classes obtaining a college education as well. For example, some schools that are in poor neighborhoods typically get very low funding compared to schools that are in wealthy neighborhoods. The reason for this is because the parents of the wealthy ten to want their students to have an edge over the competition not matter what it takes and try to provide the means to supply. Whether that includes parent donating money to help build the new gymnasium, or even to pay for new books. This in return would give the students going to the school with these new materials and facilities a greater chance of receiving...

...Hard Work Pays Off In many ways college is the most important stepping stone to one’s future. College is the transition from being a child to being an adult. By being given more freedom, and also a heavier workload, college makes young adults learn how to better manage their time knowing that there is no longer anyone sticking their necks out pushing them to succeed. For many, a college education, and eventually a degree is a goal they set for themselves long ago. For me, my college education, although helpful towards my future, isn’t necessarily being accomplished to please myself. I was raised, as one would consider a privileged child. By showing my parents respect and doing simple tasks they asked me to do, I was provided the best childhood one could ask for. I wouldn’t consider my family rich by any means, but my parents always found a way to give my brother and I some of the finer experiences in life. From travels, to gifts, to a roof over my head, and food on my plate, you could say I lived a very happy life. Growing up my parents always pushed me to do my very best in school. Though they made it seem like a choice, I knew they wouldn’t truly accept anything but my best effort. I pulled as many A’s as I possibly could, spent most my nights skipping social events to study, and sacrificed a lot of “being a kid” to make my parents proud of me. I was always told that my hard work would pay off in the end. Through out high school I continued pushing myself to get the most...

...Schwartz WR 122 February 3, 2015 The Obama administration proposed to make two year college free for responsible students. Others have tried and failed. The facts are that we will still be paying for it in the end with our taxes and that free tuition will only cause more debt, and it will turn our unique individual college experiences into more bleak college experience. The Obama administrations “proposal aims to waive tuition for community college students who maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA and make steady progress toward completing their program, the plan applies to both half-time and full-time students and includes certificate, associate, and bachelor’s degrees” (HS). This minimum requirement is lower then what is currently required by FASFA. “It is estimated that this would cost six billion dollars per year, this money will simply replace the tuition students were already paying, not increase colleges’ revenue. States would be required to pay for one-quarter of this tuition subsidy. Some may raise that money by decreasing the direct subsidies they give colleges now, which currently cover approximately two-thirds of the cost of educating each student.”(TIME) “However, reducing costs for students on its own is unlikely to significantly increase the number of students who finish degrees. Consider: Of all of the students who enrolled in public community college for the first time in the fall of 2003, only one-quarter earned any kind of certificate or associate’s degree within...
