I am attending Missouri State this fall as a freshman. I currently owe some thousands of dollars I thought would be covered by my aid until I was billed for classes. I have an appointment to see someone in financial aid in 2 weeks. I’m wondering if anyone has had good luck speaking to financial aid about outstanding balances and maybe even getting more aid. I think it’s kind of unfair that scholarships provided by the school’s information is so hard to find online. Has anyone gotten more aid out of them? If so, how much? I’m not looking for a full ride and don’t expect that much out of this honestly but will they even help me apply to scholarships and grants that aren’t readily available online?
