<p>So I have decided to train and certify myself for certification in Paralegal Studies. I can probable complete everything for only 10K at my local community college and the average starting salary where I live is $40-42K. I completed my FAFSA and my college told me there is an off chance that my funds may not be available to me until AFTER the semester begins. So, I may have to pay for any texts out of pocket. I want to have my books by day 1. If I do that, meaning pay out of pocket, will I be reimbursed after I finally get my funds?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

Yes it should refund your funds back to you.</p>
<p>You may also be able to charge the books at the school bookstore and then the charge will be put on your student account, paid when the funds come in.</p>
<p>
You don’t have to worry if your account has the “Anticipated Financial Aid” listed.</p>

<br>
<p>What funds are you expecting? money from loans? </p>
<p>When you say that this program will cost $10k, is that over a year or two? how will you cover your living expenses? Will you be commuting from your parents’ home?</p>
<p>I see that you already have a bachelors degree. You can’t qualify for fed grants.</p>
<p>Are you working? If not, why not? If you are working, why can’t you buy your books from your earnings? </p>
