Jonelle Eligio: First start talking with a high school guidance counselor so you may learn the ins and outs of higher education financial aid. Also learn about all of the expenses related to attending the School of Visual Arts in NYC: tuition, books & course supplies, computer, housing, meals, snacks, entertainment, personal care, clothing, health, transportation, etc.+ air fare to/from Wisconsin/NYC.This link lists some of the expenses to expect:http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/adm/index.jsp?si...Since NYC is a very expensive place to live, the housing offered by the school is probably the best financial deal:http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/studentaffairs/i...You will need to complete and submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid - http://www.fafsa.ed.gov ) to be considered for any kind of financial aid. Your HS guidance counselor can educate you about the FAFS! A. There is info regarding applying for SVA fin. aid here:http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/sr/index.jsp?sid...You may have to consider applying for loans to help cover all your costs. The loans that are subsidized by the Federal govenment carry the lowest interest rates.You may find some of the info on this web page from the well-respected publication US News and World Report of interest to you regarding ways to help pay for higher education;http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/payi...Be sure to click on a lot of the links there and read the info given.Also, if you are working part-time right now, save as much of what you earn as you possibly can - that includes any gift money you may receive. You may need to cut down on your personal discretionary spending in order to save as much money as possible for your expenses while attending the school. If your parents haven't started a college savings fund for you, if they can start one for you now (maybe having to cut do! wn on discretionary spending too), that would be advisable. Ex! ample: By the time I was ready to enter college as a freshman, I had enough money saved by my parents and me (mainly gifts I had received over the years + money from jobs during HS) to fully pay for 2 years of my private univ. tuition. With a great fin. aid package from the univ., including grants, scholarships, and loans, the money saved covered about 1/3 of my 4-year univ. costs, with 1/3 covered by grant and scholarship funds, and the other 1/3 covered by low interest Federally subsidized loans which I (not my parents) paid off 10 years after completing graduate school.
