I am a 20 old Kenyan male. I live in Nairobi where I attend University. I am in my first year of Commerce. My problem is that I cannot afford much of what I need like decent meal daily. The government pays half my fees(loan) I appreciate but then I would like to improve myself. Be able to buy text books etc.I have exhausted all possible options like busary,scholarships etc. locally. Jobs are seldom here.I wonder if there is stuff I can do online or wherever to earn me like 50-100US$ monthly. I know I have asked this question many times here but bear with me. I am hurting. If anyone knows of something help me please. Places I can apply for help online,jobs online etc.

What do you think about Sallie Mae?
AbeLincolnParty asked:
I went online to pay a parent plus loan a day early of the due date and their software says it takes two to four days to process the e-payment. In order to even pay online you have to agree to getting all your statements via online. It like credit card companies who sit on a check until the due date is past to cash it, seems to me. What do you think?

Can I still take out federal stafford loan under the interest rate’s before the July 1st increase?
bokimble asked:
I tried taking out federal stafford student loans for the upcoming fall semester. I sent in my request in late May to secure the interest rates prior to the July 1st increase. I was told that my interest rate would be at the increased 6.8% fixed rate because my loans were disbursed no earlier than 10 days before my program starts.

What rule is this and is there any way to work around it so I could get the 5.3% rate, after all it is not July 1st yet?
Where can I find some easy to get scholarships?
-The Lazy One- asked:
I was told that there are billions of dollars of scholarship money left over every year. I’ve been on fastweb and tried searching for scholarships, but hell, they’re not easy to get. I would love to know of any unknown scholarships to apply for… I’m in need for tuition and dorming money because I start college summer term and my state scholarship doesn’t pay for summer and I just found that out recently. I know financial aid does help cover most of my tuition, but I would love to help my parents out with any scholarships I can get for dorming, books, and perhaps personal use. If I can help it, I don’t want to take a loan of any kind.

Please inform me of any scholarships that are pretty easy to get… I don’t care how much they’re giving out, even if it’s 5 dollars.. money is money! Thanks in advance!
By the way, I live in Florida, if you guys know of any local/state scholarships. Thanks!
