omg i am sooooooooo happy right now.

i just got a scholarship!

its only $4,000 and its renewable every year and i was selected!

even though the $4,000 only covers like 1/6 of my tuition a year but thats ok because some money is better than NO MONEY!

it just makes me happy because i could really use some help financially from my school because i am putting all my money out to help my sick mom and my autistic brother. so this really help!

Thank the Lord he has blest me with this!

Gosh I hate to ask this, but are you receiving Pell Grants? I know I get about 5k a sem. You don't have to apply(other than the FAFSA). Just another source of free money. Just thought I would throw that out there.

no its a special scholarship from APU itself.

on pell grants or state grants i dont qualify. i just got the denial letter

apparently i am not smart enough but i am poor but not poor enough to receive one. so thanks anyway but i wont ever obtain that sort of grant EVER!

so i mean i got a special scholarship and its $4,000 tuition for a year but it only covers a 1/6 worth of my tuition a year.

to go to APU for a year its like $24,000 not including summer. so i mean i am going to see what else i can get

i mean there are alot of scholarships out there but i mean for the amount of work you have to put in (interviews, essays, etc...) i mean put all that time and effort into something that your 99.9% chance not to get its pretty pointless.

that is ok i can put all that time and effort into studies and work...

student loans is fine for me! :p

Congrats! It helps a little.

I understand about the not poor enough comment...going to a CC for 1000 a semester, they figure you can afford that if you make 19000 a year and have no kids.....never mind that that breaks down to 10/hr. and that's only the "offical" cost for tuition. Forget about the "extras" you have to pay for.
