I have the max pell grant, a portion of the SEOG, and I still had to pay a total of $9 for school. I have absolutely no funds for on campus housing and I am desperately searching for financial aid. Please send any suggestions or anything that may help me find a non-essay scholarship?
Only 9 dollars for an entire semesters worth of college? Wow… you are very lucky. Babysit the neighbors kids for an evening to earn that 9 dollars and instead of moving on campus stay at home.
You are SOO lucky!!!

I have a few suggestions:
1. call, email or go to your financial aid office and don’t leave until you speak to a financial aid professional to see if your school has other scholarships.
2. contact your state financial aid agency. Every state has one, yahoo search on "higher education assistance ‘fill in your state name’.
3. What is your major? Find out if your career path has a professional organization. Many times current professionals will give scholarships to help up and coming professionals.

You may wish to consider loans or a private outside scholarship. Use yahoo to search for scholarships based on whatever makes YOU unique. If you already have the maximum PELL Grant available, this means that you can’t get any more aid than this from the Federal government that is free. Therefore, you will need to find sources from the community, the school, or borrow.
