Marine Veteran Student Seeking Financial options?
I'm a Marine Corps Veteran as of June of 2010 and started attending school September 2010 full time in the state of ohio. My Basic Housing allowance is 1320$ a month. Part time jobs seem to be nonexistent. I thought getting one would be easy but its not that way. I have bills that need payed Truck payment insurance rent cell phone credit cards and of course your expendable income of food gas. Its not adding up and i'm finding myself fall more in debt and i might be scratching the surface of my good credit score. I thought about unemployment benefits but those aren't offered to full time students in Ohio. I filled out a FASFA to see if i qualified for any grants. But only loans were offered so far. My Friend with the exact same situation same rank same school whole nine rated the PELL GRANT and receives an extra 1100$ a term and hes obviously more financially comfortable. I'm just wondering if theres any other student aid offered to veterans or if any body knows what i may be qualified for in my situation. Thank you
