Financial aid is a common way to pay for college. However, it doesn’t always cover all costs.

• The first step should be considering your options. Look at what type of financial aid you have and make sure it’s not a loan.
• Come with a good argument. Is there anything going on in your life at that moment that would cause you to need more aid?
• Next would be to call the financial aid office and ask about having a meeting. It’s better to do it in person but depends on their protocol.
• Look for schools that give away more money, you have plenty of options to explore.
