Is there any programs that will pay for my rent while i go to college?

Question:

i am currently in a lease 515 a month, i pay electric and water as well but the rent is the big issue. i really want go part time at my job so i can focus more on school. i live in the dallas area, is there any programs for students to help them pay rent while they go to school. preferably not something i would have to pay back.

Answer:
well if your parents can't help, take out a student loan, you do not have to pay them back until after you are out of school (less than full time I believe), interest rates are not that bad and you can consolidate the loans when you are all done.
Also consider a roommate?

Grants are available but you typically only get awarded the education not necessarily living expenses.
If you didn't already know here is a website for applying for federal money

talk to your employer about any tuition reimbursement programs the company might offer. this would free more money up for rent instead of tuition. Also, student loans arent that bad, plus you get 10 years to pay them back. They are low interest and a tax write off. I am currently receiving student loans for graduate school and love that I do not have to work full time.

Yes, go to the financial aid office at your school, they have cost of living loans you can apply for. These are usally private seperate from you tuition. Be careful they will come back to bite you in the bum later. They usally give you about 900$/month or so.
