<p>rice is a school that will give you all grants, just keep searching</p>
<p>Davidson has recently stated they will be removing the loans from all financial aid packages.</p>
<p>There are Islamic groups out there that loan money for college without interest – just do some checking. Something to get started on early!</p>
<p>I do not think any schools will remove the loan component simply because you are Muslim – however, you certainly don’t have to take the loans! you can ask for additional work-study (and you could explain your reasons why or just say you don’t want loans). Just keep the work-study hours under 15 hrs a week during the semester or it may impact your grades.</p>
<p>Work really hard over the summer, budget well, buy used books and save any gift $ and that can help alot.</p>
<p>If you apply for a school where the loan component is low and the majority of the FA package are grants/scholarships, then you have the opportunity to eliminate those loans with summer jobs and some cost cutting in the budget.</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice, appreciate it.</p>
<p>Bump???/</p>
