Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
i just filled out the form i dont know if im gonna get any money out of it. But im going to school for photography and the camera would be used for school and so would the laptop. My parents do make decent money but i dont have a job. I dont know if that will affect how much i get or not

No. FAFSA MONEY IS ONLY FOR COLLEGE TUITION.
Federal loans are sent directly to the school. If the loan is greater than the amount of money you owe the school, then you will get a refund which you can use for whatever you want.
Otherwise you will need a private student loan which is sent directly to you and can be used for whatever additional costs you may have.
The best thing to do is compare the different private lenders out there, which can be done at http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml
Most of the rates are very similar but do a little research and pick one that you think is best. I would suggest Think Financial. The application process is very quick and easy, and the check is sent directly to you so you can use the money for whatever you want. The limits are much higher with private student loans, up to $40,000 per year. You can find out more information about a Think loan at http://www.thinkfinancial.com . Good Luck.
yes, just as long as you take care of all of your school stuff first and that you don’t withdraw from your classes, otherwise you will owe them that money.
