How Did You Pay for College?

[Corporate Thug]

loans

 

[BornStar]

Mix of all three. My parents paid for four years and I'm paying for the other two using a combination of out of pocket and loans. I'm still going to come out of this in pretty rough shape.

 

[T2T III]

100% corporation tuition reimbursement.

Well, except for the books.

 

[ActuaryTm]

Scholarship, back when scholarships actually covered almost all the expenses - in my particular case, I had surplus scholarship funds (that is, above the cost of my tuition, books, and such) in the amount of $4,000 to $6,000 per semester. Still worked nearly full-time, however.

Velvet Jones School of Technology

 

[cchen]

paying for it myself with a very sweet financial aid package

 

[jlarsson]

I get a lot of scholarships and grant money from the school and local and state scholarship funds. I pay about 50-75% of whats left (which isn't much).

 

[Kipper]

My mom pays for it, but I get roughly 80% in grants/loans (single parent, only child, mom works for non-profit)

The loans are all mine, though. I'll be graduating with roughly $25,000 in debt. That's not even including the debts I will rack up for graduate school...

 

[MrCodeDude]

Parents will probably foot the bill.

 

[FoBoT]

scholarship and student loans

my parents paid part of my room/board the first year

 

[Anubis]

i have 18,000$ in loans

my parents have 55,000$ in loans

 

[elbosco]

full tuition waiver + annual stipend to pay for books = no cost for me, unless I choose to transfer to another school

How did you get that?

 

[Chaotic42]

At the college I'm currently at, I pay for everything. I got a scholarship to Ole Miss in 98.

 

[randomlinh]

lots and lots of loans I don't ever have to want to finance a house..... my current car had better last as well...

 

[oneshot47]

Scholarships and me.

 

[SagaLore]

School loans and out of my own pocket.

 

[Feldenak]

Loans and full-time job

 

[KarenMarie]

I paid for my own college tuition and books. I was a single mom at the time, with no alimony or child support and I refused government aid. I got to the point where I had two semester left in my last year and could not longer afford to pay for it, so dropped out.

Now, four years later... I pay for VeggieFrog's tution, books, rent, food and other necessities.

 

[UglyCasanova]

The state of Louisiana has a badass program called TOPS that pays for my tuition, and I had 2 other scholarships that payed for everything else plus some.

 

[phreakah]

parents have been paying for books & tuition

 

[Aves]

Grants, scholarships and $ from my job.

More of the first 2 than the latter.

 

[NakaNaka]

I'm currently in college. I got a lot of scholarship, a lot more than I expected, plus some loans.
