Back about two months ago I wrote about financial aid and the steps I was taking to try and secure some. Offhandedly I mentioned stopping by our local Community Foundation, and I'm glad I did. Through them I was able to secure a low-interest loan (Ferber) and a scholarship that should cover most -- if not all -- of the summer session costs. Also, I've been offered an assistantship starting this Fall that would cover tuition (not fees) and also pay a small stipend. I'll probably have to take a cut in pay at work to be able to have time to do the assistantship, but -- who knows -- it might work out!
On the flip-side, I haven't gotten the FAFSA application done yet. I've been too lazy to crawl up into the attic and get my 1099 from last year...
