Many students off campus are finding new ways to help keep up with their bills. After learning how to get rid of bad spending habits, they realize that doing just that is not enough. After paying for food, utilities, cable, and electric each month, life can get pretty expensive. However, with food being one of the most expensive necessities in a person’s life, college students are turning to food stamps.
Food stamps? Most people don’t believe me when I tell them this, but yes, food stamps. College students all over are applying for food stamps, which allow them to spend several hundred dollars on food each month, and it doesn’t come out of their pockets. The amount you get to spend per month varies. However, there are qualifications. You must be involved in some kind of work study for your school, federal or state, that’s it! You can also apply for food stamps with or without your roommates.
Loren Brown, a college junior, liberal arts major, who currently does work study at Frostburg State University says “Applying for food stamps is quick and easy, and once you submit your stuff, the food stamps card comes within 5 to 7 executive business days.”
If you are a student who does work study, living on or off campus, you can apply for food stamps today! Applying for food stamps will allow you to have money left from your paychecks to spend not only on your bills, but on personal items for yourself.
