AI Thread Summary
Finding scholarships can be challenging, especially when most available options are school-specific. After being accepted into a university, many students face significant financial gaps, like a $9,000 shortfall after receiving financial aid. Some students resort to taking out loans to cover costs, which can lead to substantial debt, particularly with future graduate school expenses in mind. It's crucial for students in this situation to reach out to their university's financial aid department for guidance and potential scholarship opportunities, as they are often the best resource for navigating financial assistance options.

I'm pretty clueless about how to get scholarships... I have tried searching online but all I have found are school-specific ones.

You should contact the financial aid department at the university you plan to attend ASAP. They're probably your best source of information.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
