My aunt did this for my cousin and she got 4000 more a year, making the loans she would be getting much more reasonable. You have to be able to convince them that you need it though.

as an alternative strategy, you could probably squeeze plenty of useful grant/loan information out of their recruitment and counselling staff. theres a lot of free money floating around out there trying to find a home. and all you really have to do is write a couple compelling essays.

However, don’t let the offer of the college that wants you there expire. Otherwise, you will be left with not college.
