Is there a chance of college financial aid ?

Question

I have a small family left. my father and me. he last year earned nearly 33.000 from his Temporary job and got some 11.000 from the government or the firm he worked for, for unemployment and some benefits (not sure what it means). he did nto work for almost a year and now he has a temporary job.

My stepmothers income was pretty high, over 80.000 but they got divorced and now she is gone. and my natural Mother passed away in 2006 so she will obviously not be able to contribute anything either.

I know there are probbaly some people who earn less than we do but is there still a chance of getting a need based financial aid that will cover most of the college expenses ? I just want to know what you think, not statistics or something.

thank you

Answer 1

wow im sorry dude about your mum.....but i would check with the colleges that you have applied to and ask them what you can do... and if you cant get a finacial aid try to get a scholarship and dude theres like hundreds of scholarships so just ask the schools cause each school has different requirements...
