Can I get financial aid if i havent worked this year?

File your return for last year. If you don't owe anything, then there should be no penalties.





Then complete the FAFSA http://www.FAFSA.ed.gov That's the first step for grants, scholarships, and loans.


Then pick out a school. State schools are less expensive than private. If you can knock out some of your undergraduate courses at a local community college, that can save you a bundle. Just be sure to coordinate with whatever 4-year school you'll transfer to so that all of your credits transfer.


Live on campus; always cheaper than a private apartment. Eat in the cafeteria; not sexy by again cheaper. Buy used books wherever you can. Park the car. Turn off the cell phone. Use the clothes you already own.





Good luck. It's worth it.
