Pretty much what it says in the tittle. I need money for my studies, I have found a few and when I try new ones it says that they're close. It so frustrating that I want to break the screen.

I've tried hispanic scholarships because they say give more more to us. I'm going to apply for mc.donals and wal-mart. I'm still trying to find more.

The school just gives us a 45 min class to look for them.
They only help on how to fill out a fasfa sheet and thats all the help.
They also help with the ACT and SAT, that's it everything else is up to us.

Fill out the FAFSA sheet, sign it and mail it out OR fill out the FAFSA electronically at fafsa.ed.gov , click option 2 "Fill out your FAFSA"

Make sure you ask for your parents' tax information so that all fields are accurate.

Also, you need your tax information if you've worked the previous year.

Usually, if you work with a counselor, they just make copies of your Social Security card, IRS forms, State ID, proof of income, proof of residence.

You will receive mail in a few weeks stating whether you've been approved or not.

Good luck!

You're welcome!

You'll be at ease when you find out that the govt is paying for a whole year's tuition!

Just make sure you keep your grades consistent and attend all your classes, otherwise you will end up owing money to the govt (like my slacker friend did). I have another friend who graduated with a Criminal Justice degree and his tuition was paid in full! Awesome right? It's free money or Pell Grant, enjoy!
