Can part time students get as much in scholarships and grants? Financial aid and loans?
I am nearly ready to transfer from community college to a university so I was wondering about this. Do I need to figure out a way to attend school full time for the sake of my finances? I am so lost….
If you are a part-time student, you will not receive as much in financial aid grants as a full-time student would because you would not have the same tuition costs, fees, or book costs.
You can still take out the maximum in federal loans, and you can still qualify for scholarships (unless they stipulate that you must be a full-time student). With scholarships, just be sure to read all of the details.
