Hello all!

I am trying to avoid taking private loans to pay for school tution and just stick with what ever federal loans I can get. Unfortunatly - I only receive enough Federal Loans to take one class at a time. Is there anyway I can increase the amount of the federal loans I get? I have one more class until I am finished with my associates and I already have a few classed under my belt for my bachelors. Will the amount increase at all after I am done with my associate courses?

Thanks!

You can appeal you financial aid package with you school. This might allow you to be awarded more money. However, I am a little bit confused about your situation because usually you have to be enrolled at least half time to receive loans. My other suggestion would be to apply for as many scholarships as you can. Here are two good scholarship resources:

ScholarshipPoints: http://www.scholarshippoints.com
Student Scholarship Search: http://www.studentscholarshipsearch.com

I attend DeVry and they have split sessions so I am really taking 2 classes per semester - one in the A session and one in the B session. I have enough aid for 7 credits per semester but I would really like to pick up another class per semester.

I'll ask about reassesing my federal loans.

THANKS!
