I am planning to go to Full Sail and the offer a mac book for discount would my Pell Grant pay for it?

I was just wondering because the said they provide at a deep institutional discount.





I already know how much it would be, I was talking to a admission guy and said yes but if not it would be 2,000 or something.





But since he didn't really give me the answer im looking for im here now.



when you get a pell grant it goes for tuition and school supplies and a computer nowadays is considered a necessity so yeah you could. plus after you get the grant and you pay for everything and you still money left over you pocket it and you could use it for anything you want to.




Your Pell grant will go towards your tuition and fees at Full Sail first. It is my understanding that school is wickedly expensive, so your tiny pell grant will not be enough to pay for your tuition and fees there, much less a computer. If you get other forms of financial aid, like loans and you will also need to take out parent PLUS loans to cover that for-profit expensive school, then yes, you may have enough left over to buy a computer... but just remember anything you borrow will have to be repaid... and loans are usually put on a ten year payment plan.





You certainly don't want to be paying on that laptop for 10 years AFTER you graduate and long after it's outdated. You would prob do better going directly through financing through Apple and having your parents cosign for you since they are going to have to do parent loans anyway.





Hope that helps.
