My parents paid for my whole tuition is around $ 5,550.00 per semester. When I received the scholarship from GPC (before merging to GSU) $ 3,027. 00 per semester because I have good grades (GPA over 3.5), my parents only paid around $ 2,500 per semester and plus $300 per month for reting a room. However, after merging into GSU, I do not have the scholarship any more. My parents have to pay again whole tuition $ 5,550.00 per semester and plus $ 300 rent fee per month. It is a big amount to my parents. Now, my parents' business is not good as before because the economic in Viet Nam is slow down.

    Originally, I thought that the reason that I wanted to pursue an engineering degree is because of my family. However, I was wrong. Although for two generations, my family members all graduated from different engineering programs in my home country, it was still my own choice to apply to the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. From my childhood, I was told that my father graduated from the electrical engineering program at the best university in China. So did my mother and grandfather. I was given a heavy burden from then, and once I thought I was going to step onto the exactly same path as my family did until I stepped on the land of Canada for the first time. For the past three years I have changed a lot. I guess it is not only because of the better education system of Ontario, but also because that my field of vision has been widened. I chose the University of Toronto simply because I am interested in Engineering Science, and because the engineering programs in the University of Toronto are definitely the best choices among all. I realize that I am most interested in the biomedical engineering program in Engineering Science program, and I really hope that I can further improve my knowledge and vision there.…

    Nevertheless, my father always kept a subscription to the local newspaper, where he taught himself how to read at a functional level. As my senior year in high school approached I made it clear to my Father that I wanted to attend College after I graduated. With only one income in the home, the biggest question for my Father was "where is the money for college coming from"? For so many Americans in this situation the answer leads to only one source, STUDENT LOANS. I will never forget the meeting where an agent came to our house to explain the loans available to students and how the process worked. The numbers had my dad rubbing his head trying to figure out the astronomically high prices for a college education. But because he knew that this is what I really wanted, he signed off on a loan that I still have to pay today. As fate would have it, my Father was not able to witness his son receive his college degree. My Father passed away during my sophomore year in college. Now more determined than ever to finish my college education, I was totally reliant on student…

    Financing college is of the more difficult decisions one will make in life, even though, for some, such is one of the easiest.

Another option, for qualifying persons, is federal issued grants; which should be one’s initial choice in financing college, after all applicable scholarships considered.…
