I am new student at a technical college, I currently have some health problems that were unexpected, and I am really having a tough time financially, although despite these setbacks I am maintaining good grades. I have some aid already, grants have paid for my tuition and books, and I have a small Stafford loan approved for this school year. Which would have been enough, had I not become ill in August and am unable to work and go to school full-time. Any suggestions on grants, scholarships, etc. would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Also I might add that I have no spouse or family to help me and am responsible for all of my bills and living expenses. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would not be asking for this type of information, but I have so many medical appointments, hospital and doctor co-pays, and am still undergoing diagnostic testing, so I have no idea what the future holds, have to be prepared in case I have to remain umemployed for an extended time

There are free membership scholarship search websites out there listing private organization and company scholarship program out there. I recommend applying before the deadline and paying attention to the organizaion's website before applying because it can help you with the interview or the essay portion of the essay in knowing what they are looking for. Unfortunately, all of this takes time. I recommend talking to the college financial aid office to see if they can help you, too. Good luck!

Are you able to work part-time? That would be better than nothing. For scholarships you can go to the library and look through the scholarship books there. I think you are more likely to get scholarships that you find in those books than the ones you find on the internet because there are fewer applicants.
Good Luck.

Try fastweb.com or google for scholarships and other financial aids. Contact your college financail aid advisors and see what they say. Sometimes schools offer add'l aid. It won't hurt to ask. I'm sorry to hear about what's been happening to you. Hope you get better soon. Good Luck!!

Wa alaikum as salaam, Nobody really knows the answer of this one except the Almighty-All Knower- Allah. And i think instead of us trying to think what Allah would intend, which is impossible with our little and corrupted iman and ilm, i think we should be worrying about NOT being the ones who would dwell in Hell. This is like imagining how would one celebrate after exams when he has no clue what so ever if he's even gonna pass. Allah knows best :)

I would say go to the schools financial aid person and talk to them.
if you can't get help there, try a local college and talk to them. You can also go online and do google and type in financial aid.
i hope your health gets better and that you get money for school, college is so important.

Doing the SAT is a good way to get a scholarship
