Possibly.

It would all be a combination of how much you're getting paid and how many hours you're working. And like Rudey said, a summer job can go a long way to paying the bills since you can work more hours during the summer. That dollar amount is not as large as it seems. 20 hours a week @ $6/hr for 9 months would get you slightly more than the minimum you quote. You can make significantly more than that waiting on tables or something and in the summer you would make more than that as well. But, how many hours would you be able to work per week?

The chapter I support doesn't collect it all at once either. There's usually one payment in the beginning of the semester and one more toward the middle.
