Trying to start school - School & Work

Shaky · 01-13-2006, 10:58 PM

But now I'm getting a little worry. I've NEVER had to pay anything to go to school. Goverment always paid everything, including materials and books. I got married and I thought since he is supporting me I might get to get some kind of help but now that I'm going to start a part time I'm afraid I'm not going to recive any help. If it's like that I'm not going to be able to go to school now

Does anyone here still get help even if the two of you are working??

We don't get anything and dh is only an E-4, I don't work, and we have 3 kids.

I applied for financial aid last yr around Aug. They approved me for financial aid for last fall and this semester. I was working the yr before I applied and still got it. I didn't get EOPS though, which is money for books. That's a Ca thing anyway. I also was eligible for the fee waiver here. I'm not sure they have that there. They will go with your pay from last yr, I believe, so give it a try anyway. Good luck!

Ouch... So if they go by your last year tax page. Does that means they wont go with dh's since we were not married?
