Financial aid easier to get in California?

[sSsflamesSs]

Dude, relax. Perhaps my exaggeration wasn't as obvious as I'd hoped it would be. I don't really care that much for that to be my genuine reaction. But you DID insult me, admit it.

Well, I realize that I did insult you... but that wasn't intentional...

Not only do I have to get loans, I can't type below 15 characters

Awww, little mousy, what's wrong?

The only reason why it is easy is because California has the highest civilians in need of it. Anyway, look folks if you wish to earn some money you need to be investing your time in some product that truly sells; forget candy forget t-shirts and forget being an intern for some smug who just wants to take pictures of you bending over on a mirrored floor. Just go out and sell weed. You re at least bound to make $2000 minimum. Hell, you know there are more customers for that one hemp plant alone than any other merchandise for sale. Therefore, commit a new starting relationship with Mary Jane and just let the rest follow accordingly.

California residents that go to school in California are eligible for CalGrants in addition to the federal Pell Grants. I don't know if other states offer this.

Look Anony, you do not need anything else if the money is going straight towards books. Go to your financial aid office at school and go ask for 2 things: book vouchers (since most financially needy kids need them and can be entitled to them) and ask them if you qualify for their financial aid FAFSA packet which consists of a BOG A (this is basically a check if your gpa isnt below at least a 2.0). Then, the rest shall follow.

I dont know about undergrad because I wasn't considered independent and didn't qualify for any, but CA doesn't give their grad students shiat. Not a f*cking dollar even. All they offer are loans.

I thought that's how grad school is all over the US (not just CA) - all you get are loans. I'd be ecstatic if that's not the case.

It depends on what you go to grad school for. Most science programs are paid for by the school, in addition to a living stipend.
