Make the Most of Financial Aid
It's that time of the year again, when summer is almost over and school will be starting in a couple months. Most students have already sent in all the necessary paper work and are just waiting to deposit their financial aid funds into their bank accounts. So this week's series of articles will focus not on acquiring financial aid, but rather on how to make the most of it while in school.
Scholarships, grants, or student loans (yikes!), whatever your source of funds may be you'll have to make it last for the entire semester so the first frugal living tip you'll have to learn is to budget! What expenses will you have? The most basic are rent, food, utilities, clothes, books and supplies, entertainment, and possibly credit card debt. Each of these have the potential to break the bank and in the next several posts I'll teach you how to tackle each one.
