How will my federal student aid effect my tax return?

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I started college this year. I am an independent student ( I do not live with my parents). Our family is low income, and we get a much needed sizeable tax return every year. I'm wondering how my federal student aid will effect our tax return. Will it raise or lower it? Thanks!
I know that I am an independent student. I'm 25 years old, married, with 3 kids.

Can a student withdraw before an explusion hearing?

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

I am asking this for a friend.

If a high school student is going to be expelled from school, can he or she withdraw from school before the hearing is held?

I've read online that a student may withdraw from that school before the expulsion hearing occurs, although he or she will have a note in his record about the "explusion" until he or she graduates.

Can anyone comment on this?

What is the transition from home school to public school like?

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I'm writing a story, and one of my characters has been home schooled all her life and, due to her mother's career change, has to start public high school as a freshman. Does the curriculum differ? How does one adapt to the social structure of public school? Do home schooled kids ever feel "sheltered" compared to their public school counterparts? I would appreciate help from anyone who has gone through a similar transition.

What does it mean when my student loans have a zero balance due to a claim?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

My student loans are through NelNet and I received a letter from NelNet instructing me to stop making payments. The reason they give is that my student loan account has been paid by a claim and now has a zero balance. I have had student loans since 1995; but I also have filed bankruptcy. What does all this mean? What claim paid my loans off? Did I or someone else get sued for the money?
