I am a 22 year old who pays her own tuition without the help of financial aid. A 34 year old non-working, divorced stay at home mom I know went to the same school as me, she got full financial aid, PLUS she recieved extra money from them every semester. This woman already gets tons of money from her ex every month, so it's not like she's impoverished!
I am barely getting by on my small income and I don't get aid because I am under the age of 25, and I'm not married or have kids. Until I am 25, or married, or have kids, I cannot recieve aid as an individual--until then I have to use my parents when applying for aid, and I won't get aid using them, they make too much money.
I live in Pennsylvania if that helps. Can someone please give me some advice?? Is there something I am missing out on? Can I can get around the system?
