My youngest son is wanting to go to Hendrix in conway Ar. $34,000 per year.
He has scholarships lined up so far for almost $20;000 per year.
But he can go to any Arkansas university for free. I'm trying to talk him into UALR. If he's depending on me for the remainder at Hendrix, I'm affraid my well isn't deep enough at the moment.
I think economics 101 will send him to UALR.

im only on my first year of college and i already feel like im mootching off the rents. i dont like the idea of having a debt tho lol but this economy might make me to start paying for it soon.

Ok so are you not getting Stafford Loans? What are you FR/SO/JR/SR or Grad school? (I work in FA)
Some aid is first come first serve (federal work study, FSEOG, some state grants).
You should always fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It depends when your semesters start as to when and if you can get federal loans in time for you to use them. Stafford Subsidized Loans are great, a fixed 6.0% interest rate and you don't accrue interest while you are full time, the government pays it.
Student loans usually go to the school first to pay off your bill then the excess is refunded to you. I'm not sure on your school's time frame...

Is it possible to sell them just to cover this year till you can afford to purchase another truck and boat? Your education is more important in my opinion and another truck or boat are most times easier to get again. I think you mentioned you have a Cavalier you could drive or you could sell it also and get rides from friends. Or look into transferring to another school you could afford like a community college or taking a year off school to save some money. Just some suggestions... they may be hard decisions but might be the right ones to get through school. Maybe go to talk to the school or someone who could financially help you out.
