While the Tennessee Promise Scholarship and HOPE scholarship have many positive traits,…

by the scholarships my community has awarded me. It’s hard for me to justify my feelings that I don’t have enough food, money, or material things. I have been given everything and yet sometimes I feel like I have nothing. How can I justify the financial aid that was awarded to me when I know that someone else needs it more than me? Someone who hasn’t been helped and mentored by their community and society to succeed. “I’m afraid I can’t tell explain myself, sir. Because I am not myself, you…

Abstract Less than 2% of middle-class families use a financial aid service compared to 60% of lower-income households. Due to these statistics, this difference is a result of middle class’s belief that financial aid is not beneficial to the wealthy nor the middle-income families.

(Mcgrath and Schifrin 74). They will probably need either merit or need based financial aid. Students who meet some academic criteria will most likely receive merit-based aid. The students from low and middle-income families will require need-based aid. Although many might think that financial aid should be based on merit as a way to reward students for their achievements and push success; however, government financial aid should not be based solely on merit because it doesn’t always go to the…

conventional perception that any child can be what they they want to be if they put their mind to it. After admission to college, I was inconveniently not taught about the financial aspects about paying for college. There was no class offered that taught how to fill out the FAFSA form, privatized loans vs federal loans, or any financial aid qualifications.…

get any scholarships. I went to the financial aid office looking for help to find scholarships for spring semester, but my experience with the financial aid office was very unpleasing.
