Description: Hi my name is David Ng. we came here from New Jersey and we are in New York's Chinatown. My daughter is currently 8 years old and by the time she is in college, I might have been able to save about one year's worth of tuition. I'm asking the candidates how would they help us with college tuitions? Especially in the Chinatown community where there are many low income people that I am sure have not saved as much as I have, even though I have not saved that much.

ThePostFOB ::: Favorites If your child is planning to go to grad school, remember it's more important where she's gotten her masters/phds from than her undergrads. So to keep costs low stay in-state. Out-of-state tuition costs the same or more than most private schools w/ less financial aid. I hope my advice as an a recent UCSD out-of-state alumni helps! Good luck.  07-09-26 18:44:41 __________________________________________________
ThePostFOB ::: Favorites the next option will be federal grants & work study, but they only amount to a few thousand dollars a year at most, you also have federal subsidized student loans. Try to stay away from PLUS loans (you'll have to pay the interest while your child's in school) & private student loans (they're a quick way to get money, but they'll put you & your child in a difficult situation after college). 07-09-26 18:44:19 __________________________________________________
ThePostFOB ::: Favorites These days a undergraduate education doesn't give you much leverage in landing a professional job. The best case would be a full ride offered by the school, but that doesn't come often. A few options are scholarships from various organizations, especially if your child is from a minority group or has certain talents/skills, essay contests for students, 07-09-26 18:37:10 __________________________________________________
streetgypsy44 ::: Favorites "Most decent colleges have very good financial aid" And whoever would say thats never had to deal with F-AID or sniffs crack. A fucking PELL grant isnt going to do jack for a $40,000/pub school or $160,000/priv school and loans dont pay for shit they only create debt. 07-09-23 22:53:45 __________________________________________________

kmortiz ::: Favorites Get good grades, show no money in the Bank, so your kids will get more student aid if needed. Start the kids at a less expensive school to get the "standard" classes over before starting a major. have your children start college credits in 10th,11th and 12 grade if offered at the high school for exceptional students......get advice from your school guidence dept 07-07-20 19:33:15 __________________________________________________
vnRock ::: Favorites No, no one can help them. I paid for my own and so will your children. It's a free world and everyone has an equal right and opportunity. Have them work at the restaurant and pay for her tuition. It's wrong to think that you can suck other people money. It's wrong to think government can take care of your kids. You're wrong 07-07-17 07:25:48 __________________________________________________
Tesselator ::: Favorites Ok but these are the real issues: 1. The Patriot act - treason 2. NAFTA - high treason 3. The North American Union - high treason 4. Preemptive Unconstitutional war - treason 5. National ID - sinister 6. Income tax the fed and the IRS - Illegal and unconstitutional 7. The Patriot act II - treason 8. Bush's Declaration of US Dictatorship - high treason. And the cost/affordability of education pends primarily on #6 So that's what you want to attack. 07-07-16 08:09:03 __________________________________________________
