It helps a lot. Will it cover all costs? Much like decades ago, to keep the candle lite at both ends, had to supplement with p/t job. Make the best of the opportunity. Congrats.
I am extremely happy for you!
If I may ask, 10 years from now reflect back, recognize and acknowledge your extreme good fortune. My kids are struggling from decisions made a decade ago.
wait, I thought everyone got the Pell grant? I didn't even consider the possibility of not getting it, I just got it automatically every year without having to apply and assumed it was like... included. lol. congratulations regardless!
It makes a difference. My wife has had some sort of financial aid, including a Pell Grant, over the last 8 years for her JC and college education. We only had one semester we had to pay for. Every little bit helps. Good luck with your studies.
1. Do your best, that's enough. 2. Use old textbook editions. Often, the changes from one edition to the next are barely perceptible, but make sure before buying. 3. Get to know your professors. 4. Good luck!
