get financial aid

I have this semester’s tuition paid off with a Stafford loan.
Yay for actually getting it.

Ah! I knew having a poor family that doesn’t really care about me, and being of a mixed ethnic background would help me eventually! I applied early for the FAFSA, because I’m going to a junior college for my first two years, then transfering, and I have to pay for everything MYSELF.

So. Onward to the FAFSA.

From doing that, I qualified for a CAL GRANT, which gave me $1,555 the maximum you can recieve for a Community College. That’s sweet, because it covers any expenses. After a few mishaps, I finally applied properly, and recieved confirmation for my BOG WAIVER, which pays for my tuition, and school fees, like health. Also gives me a discount parking permit! The school I’m going to has a financial aid program that I want to apply to in May, because it’ll pay for my books and food on campus.

That would be fucking awesome, because then I can use my CAL GRANT for paying my RENT, since I’m moving out in Late July-Early August with Stephanie. :O

Wooooo. I’m only SEVENTEEN. Slow the fuck down, world!!

Got Denied for financial aid, AGAIN!

This is my last year of school and they aren’t offering me any financial aid. I’ve just finished submitting my paperwork for an appeal so I hope that things work out in my favor!
