I accidentally filled my fafsa out late this year so i couldn't qualify for one of the grants I usually get

When I graduate, I'll have 9k-10k in debt (4 years)

$20K at the end of grad school, but its all subsidized loans so I can pay that off with stipend money if I get into a PhD program.

$0. I'm going to apply for FAFSA for next term, it should net me ~$1500 a semester (atleast when I went to FAU it did..). Plus I'm gonna sign up for the Bright Futures junk, should drop my tuition some, registration time is always hectic cause I'm always short on cash (BOOKS!).. I hate those times of the year.

$17k when I graduated. Millenium scholarship dropped it by $5k. 3yrs later, down to $10k. Interest is variable prime+2.5%. Extended it as far as I could to 10yrs to get a low monthly payment. Once my vehicle is paid off then I'll ramp up the payments and really take a hard look at RSPs. Right now I'm simply sitting on my ass and procrastinating.

$0 thanks to scholarship.

Almost lost it, but spoke with the guy in charge of it, gave me another chance and I pulled my sh!t together and was allowed to keep it :)
