room and board money
I'm going to college soon and I have scholarships for tuition, but how do you get scholarships or your future college to pay for room and board?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Yeah, the school's financial aid office can point you in the direction of available scholarships, grants, and loans. In addition, you should ask about work-study programs. There's also usually the option of working in the dining halls to get your dorm and food paid or mostly paid.
Best wishes.

OHHH I almost forgot...most colleges offer free room and sometimes board if you are an RA. RA stands for resident assistant. It's not too much work, see if you can get involved with that!

Ask the financial aid office at your college. If there is anything that you could get or apply for, they will let you know. Remember though, not everyone can have everything completely paid for. There's only so much money to go around and it's given to the most needy. There's no way to get a scholarship if you're not eligible for one. If you aren't eligible and you don't have the money to pay for room and board, just take out a student loan for it. The financial aid office can help with that too. Currently I am paying for everything with student loans. For awhile I was really scared about doing this. It was the only way that I could afford to go to college, but I was so worried about my future and having to pay off all of these loans. I'm not worried anymore. Two years ago my boss talked to me about his experience with college. He stayed in college for 10 years (because he fooled around too much) and paid for a huge chunk of it with student loans. He's now very successful, is married with 2 kids, and isn't under any more financial stress than anybody else. Student loans really are the way to go if you can't get federal loans or a scholarship. Good luck! :)

The campus should have applications for room and board scholarships or something...I guess you apply for them once you're settled in.
Did you try to ask the college?...I'm pretty sure they have some financial aid thing. Or the cost could be included in the tuition fee thing. Check again.
Have fun at collegeXD.
