I am currently a senior at Santa Ana Valley High School. I am planning to further my education and obtain a degree.

The United States federal government provides needs-based grants through the Federal Pell Grant Program. Administered through the U.S. Department of Education, The Pell Grant award can be used by the student at any of the estimated 5,400 participating postsecondary institutions for tuition, books, transportation, and living expenses. Eligibility for the Pell Grant program requires the student to demonstrate financial need, complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and provide financial information to determine the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). A Pell Grant award is based on the student’s EFC, which is calculated by a standard formula established by Congress. This formula evaluates the information reported on the student’s FAFSA, the cost of attendance at student’s chosen college, whether the student will attend part-time or full-time, and if the student will attend a half academic or full academic year. The maximum award a student can receive for the 2017-18 academic year will be $5,920. More than seven million students in the United States are expected to receive a Pell Grant award to go to college.

Each college and university that the student applies too will have the student fill out and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine what type of federal student aid the student qualifies for.

Throughout the majority of my life, I had dreams of becoming an attorney and did not consider medicine as a profession until much later in my academic career. I had previously pictured myself pursuing a career in intellectual property rights and hoped to become a patent attorney, given my interest in the scientific field. My interest in patent law led me to take science courses that piqued my curiosity. I soon found myself involved in undergraduate laboratory research, focused on discovering new drugs to treat chronic pain syndromes while preventing drug tolerance and limiting the side effects of conventionally used narcotic pain medications. During my last year of college, I was accepted into law school, however I ultimately did not feel that I was truly pursuing my passion and decided to withdraw my acceptance. I then found myself with a college degree and an unclear direction in life, unsure of what new career I wanted to pursue. Shortly after graduating, I discovered a medical scribe vacancy in my hometown's Emergency Department (ED). Working as a scribe in the ED was a profound experience that undoubtedly shaped my career path and inspired me to become a physician and apply to medical school.

To understand my financial situation and how I will pay for my schooling, it is important to learn about my past. I was born into a single income family whose father was in the Navy and was often away at sea, leaving my mother to stay home and take care of myself and my older brother who was in and out of the hospital due to a terminal heart condition. My brother's medical condition required constant care and supervision, surgeries, hospital stays and at times limited access to the outside world which prevented my mother from working thereby limiting the financial ability to set aside funds for University for both my brother and myself.

In South Africa the government established the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) in 1996, to enable students without financial resources can attend university, and the NSFAS provides loans to universities students. These loans are administered by the institutions themselves and are part of the Financial Aid Package (FAP) awarded to students on the basis of annual gross family income and to what is known as level of need. Other criteria used by universities include family size, the distance of the home from an institution, and the number of siblings at the university. Loans usually cover tuition costs but in cases of extreme need, they may also cover living costs and traveling expenses (Council on Higher Education’s policy report, 2004).
