*See below for ways that André can cover the remaining $5,119 of the cost of attendance.
André will probably need to work during the award year, cut expenses further, or take out student loans. André also may be offered a work-study award that could help him find an on-campus job if he doesn't keep his regular job. André can reduce the amount he needs to work and/or borrow if he receives scholarship aid. (Note: Many, but not all, community colleges participate in the federal loan programs.)
