I attend Saint Leo University's online program. I recieve the maximum finaancial aid allowed. Unfortunately, this amount does not cover 2 semesters out of the six that are offered per year. I can either pay out of my on pocket or take two semesters off. Even if you attend a college as a four year student financial never covers everything. I am sure you were told financial aid will pay for your education, because it will, just not all of it.
