    Smart But No Money
    Ok, so I'm not the smartest person ever but I have the strength to succeed and not at all dumb. My dad has epilepsy and had to retire from his job when he was only 45. He did little jobs around the neighborhood to make some extra money and so he wouldn't be bored, but he still didn't make all that much. My parents are still together and my mom makes good money, but not enough for college. I tried applying for financial aid and was denied for whatever reason. In high school I was really in working and didn't really get any scholarships or grants. I've been trying everything to make save money and go to college. But I only saved enough for one year and now that year is over.

    Please help me and tell me how and where I can get some grants or scholarships. Thank you!

    Have you discussed work programs with the college, working in lab classes, student assistances, even some maintenance jobs.

    Next there is part time work, deliver pizza, work at fast food and more

    Next where do you live,

    If you go to the school's financial aid office, and plead your case, sometimes, they can sign you up for more grants/loans. It really depends on the flick of their pen.
