Alright, I am a sophomore in high school but I have been researching information on various colleges. There a quite a lot of terms & other stuff of that sort that don't exactly make sense to me. Therefore, I'm hoping maybe some people who are in college or who know this information could help me, I'd really appreciate it.
Ok, this is about financial aid...
*What is the difference between: Federal Grants, State Grants, Institutional Grants, & Loans?
*Generally how do most people do college? For example do most people start off taking basic REQUIRED classes & THEN take majors of their choice?
-->Just any personal information or advice on college & searching for the right college in general would be so helpful!
Thanks for your time!!!
Well the difference in the grants thing is that grants you do NOT have to pay back the state federal gives them to you and you do not owe them a cent back for it...loans are something you HAVE to pay back and it all depends on how much your parents make so its not up to you how many grants you get its up to the federal government sorryand yes most people start off by getting their prerequisites out of the way first because a lot of you classes in your major will require you to take those courses first anyway so about your first year and a half to two years of college are based on prerequisites whic kinda sucks... another tip is all those essays and crap you can do in high school to get money for college you should REALLY REALLY do because college ends up being VERY expensive and its a big reality check for most people
