How to pay off student loans when leaving the country?
Does anyone know how it works if you are moving to another country but still have student loan payments to make in the USA? I'm moving to another country to teach but not sure how to continue making payments.
Answer:
All the banks / financial institutions I have for my loans offer the ability to pay online, which I highly recommend. You can still send a check but it's not as reliable and you will still be charge a late fee if it never makes it. You can also contact the institution and ask what they recommend. Student loans are just as important as a mortgage loan, make sure to pay every month or they will destroy you.
How to become a construction project manager?
What should I do to reach this goal?
What should I major in?
Answer:
If you are still a high school student, hold a conversation with a high school counselor and discuss your education and career goals regarding construction management.
See the information in this link to the US Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics publication, Occupational Outlook Handbook - Construction Laborers:
* http://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/construction-laborers-and-helpers.htm
Be sure to click on all the tabs and read all the info given.
To eventually become a manager of a construction project, you will need a bachelor's degree (and maybe even a Master's degree) in engineering or another related construction course of study. Colleges/universities that offer programs in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Architectural Engineering will be a good place to study to learn about construction and the management of construction projects.
Read a bit about construction management here:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_management
Visit your local public library and ask a reference librarian there to help you find more information to help you with education and career planning in construction management.

How to get more financial assistance from Rutgers?
I just got into Rutgers and that is the school I plan on going to. They gave me work study and loans as my financial aid package from fafsa. I just want to know how I can go about getting more money from them some how. My guidance counselor told me that you can ask for more but Im not sure if that is the way to do it. I need help any help would be great thank you so much!
Answer:
There are several different kinds of aid that can be offered by a college. The grants and loans that you get from completing the FAFSA are calculated using standard formulas, so unless you have some unusual circumstances, what they've awarded you is all you'll be eligible for no matter what school you go to. It is possible to have your EFC from the FAFSA adjusted if your family's financial situation has changed significantly since you did your tax returns. For example, if a parent became unemployed. If you have a circumstance like that, make an appointment to see a financial aid counselor.
The EFC from your FAFSA is also used by many colleges to determine your eligibility for state and institutional aid from the school's own resources. This is where there might be a little more wiggle room because the school has more ability to decide what to give you. Most schools have an appeals process, so if you think you have some unusual circumstances that weren't taken into consideration, go for it. But, schools receive so many appeals these days that they can't possibly increase aid to all of them. If you don't have anything unusual going on--you just can't afford the school--your appeal will probalby be denied and you will get your original package.
It's worth a try, but I would also be looking for some private scholarships or applying to a school that is more in your budget.
How to apply for a student loans?
I need to take 9 credits in the summer section in orden to graduate on time and that means that i need to pay $ 1,350 for the class and i only have 350. How can i apply for a student loans for 1,000 and how am i suposse to pay for it?
Answer:
You need to contact the school (or do a search on the school's website) in order to find out what needs to be done to apply for the loan. Also, make sure you are able to take that many credits over the summer. The school I am attending only allows students to take a max of 6 credits over the summer due to the high failure rate. Also be aware that it takes a while for the application to process, so you need to get on this ASAP in order to get the funds before summer payment is due. Best of luck!
How to get a full Scholarship for masters in Economics?
okay so i just started working on my degree on Economics and i really want to continue and a scholarship when i do my masters. But i want to know what things i have to get done, what are the common things most scholarship programs are looking for and what are the best Universities for studying masters in Economics?
Answer:
It's a bit different at the masters level. You'd need to find out if the masters programs you're looking at offer teaching or research assistantships to masters level students (and not just to PhDs.) If so, you could apply for one, and if granted, they'd pay part or all of your tuition. In exchange, you'd work as a research or teaching assistant.

How to make copies of parents 2011 tax return?
The college that I'm planning to attend is asking for verification but the only 2011 tax return my parents have is their personal copy. Do I make a copy of that copy? How do I know what pages to copy?
Answer:
Yes, you will need a transcript. If your parents have access to a fax machine, the quickest way for them to get the Tax Return Transcript would be to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Your parent must call. They should *not* select the option to inquire about getting a transcript. They should instead press "0" until they get a representative. They should make sure to ask for a "Tax Return Transcript." If they just say "transcript," they may receive their Account Transcript instead, which is insufficient. They will need to be at the fax machine when they call, and they will need to sign the transcript before you turn it in to the Financial Aid Office.
This is why it is important to use the FAFSA's IRS Data Retrieval Tool whenever possible, as this would not be required.
Good luck.
how to make the tution fee for an international student lower ?
hi, I've been living in Canada for 5 year and paid almost 50k in tuition fee. i was wondering how can make the cost lower ?
yes i am currently living in canada and i am planning to be a permanent resident, but how and how long do i have to wait ?
Answer:
Are you saying you *currently* live in Canada as an international, and have paid $50k for tuition over five years? If so, how long do you plan to stay in school?
You can't lower the tuition rate; schools set those. You can't qualify as anything other than an international student unless you plan to become a citizen of Canada.
How to pay off your college account without taking out a loan?
Is there a way (or a program) that will help to pay off your college account without having to take out a loan? (I completed one semester but I never even started the second, and FA pulled the funds.)
Answer:
If FA "pulled the funds" due to academic issues... then you could not get Student Loans either as they are part of Fin Aid
and, to answer your question, NO
this is why many students work full-time while in school full-time... to avoid having to take loans... or, in some cases, to keep loans to a minimum
How to get institutional grant aid from University of Denver?
I applied to UD and I am trying to figure out how to get institutional grant aid. I found that 78% qualify for it but I am not sure where to go and apply for it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Answer:
Looks like Denver requires you to have submitted your FAFSA and CSS profile by February 15th. You better get busy if you haven't done them yet!

How to consolidate private and federal student loans with a bankruptcy?
I have two loans thought Sallimae and one is a federal loan. I want to consolidate into one loan but am having trouble. One company said they could not help because I graduated from Ashford university online. I hope some of you have some suggestions cause I am at a loss.
Answer:
Please read this information from Student Aid on the Web (part of the FAFSA web pages from the U.S. Dept. of Education) on discharging/cancelling a higher eduction loan:
* http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/discharges.jsp
Sallie Mae is a private student lender. You cannot consolidate a private loan with a Federally subsidized loan.
I am sorry you did not learn about student loans - and the pitfalls you should avoid - before you took out the private loans. And, I am sorry you fell for the hype from the for-profit university, Ashford, and its online-only program.
