Alright, so my financial aid got cut this year. Basically it covers about half of my rent and tuition- that's it. That means everything else is on me... books, food, the other half of rent, car expenses, gas, plane ticket home, etc etc. I've applied for TONS of scholarships, but so far... nothing. My Mom cannot afford a DIME towards school. She foreclosed her house, moved into a rented house across the country, and is JUST making it for her and my siblings. I have a job, but I'd pretty much have to work whenever I'm not in classes or sleeping. I'm taking 5 classes... it's going to be impossible to study, let alone have any kind of life! Time for the gym, my boyfriend, church stuff? Forget it! College has been my dream since I was a little girl, but it's turning out to be difficult, and I'm not talking academics. It's taking too much out of me, and not giving me enough back. Anyway... is there ANY kind of program or financial aid I could be missing? A girl from my High School is from a well off family, but after she filled out her FAFSA, she could go to pretty much any college she wanted- at no cost to her! Help? Advice? Support... anything?
