Administration

Federal Aide…just when you thought you were done…

October 24, 2007

So I am going to apply for federal aid for Grad school.  After college, I thought I would be done with student loans but alas, I am wrong…

Ideally I want to become Dr. William Venezia in Information Systems so perhaps I will have to run into this issue again.  The first time I applied for federal aide, my father did all the work.  I didn’t have to worry about it.  Now I understand the frustration.  You need to have all your financial background and life story to apply and that doesn’t mean you actually get money!

My company is paying for grad school (assuming that I get As in all of my classes) and of course not all the classes are in my strong suit.  Accounting and other business courses historically I did not get As in.  Bs yes. the occasional C, yes…but not an A.  I am assuming that the masters program is going to be harder than my under-grad (but hopefully not:)) so As will be hard to come by.  This is why I am getting the federal aide…if I don’t get the A, I get the cushion of knowing that I will increase my debt :)
I am already 60k in the hole from undergrad…why not increase this number :P
