I worked for aramark at a student dining location. I earned 16/hr and you could pay that off working 20 hrs/week (after tax. I earned like 14.50 after tax i think.)

I know the organization MADRVA used to do mini grants, they still might. I’d also recommend looking at the rvarestaurantjobs instagram, they’re always posting local places that are hiring. If you have any profs that you like & trust, you should try reaching out & explaining your situation & ask if they have any connections. 🙏

are they not giving you a payment plan? I thought you could pay just 20% for now

If you haven’t already, the easiest way to do this is to log into student aid and add on to your plus loan if you already got one (or just get it if you didn’t). I did that last spring when my original loan wasn’t enough to cover the second semester

The office of student advocacy can help you break down those resources and make it easier for you.

The payment plan enrollment deadline ended on the 17th I believe but your best bet is to get a job. VCU won’t drop your classes but you do have the rest of the semester to pay your balance before spring semester. Scholarships will probably be for spring.

vcu offers an emergency fund for full time students in the event of financial hardship events. read the requirements!! usually it’s around $500 but you can get more. but vcu will NEVER kick you out of your classes if you are unable to meet a deadline! it’s a policy by vcu!! you got it, from a fellow ram.

Depends on your major but if you’re in something like business or engineering, they sometimes will give out retention grants (pay for the remainder in your account) near the end of the semester.
