I live so close to the school I'm wanting to attend, but since I'm 5 miles across the state line, I can't get any money. It's insane.

I'm just so overwhelmed by the awesomeness of all of my readers!

Even if you're not a member, there's a lot of helpful info on there for us homeschoolers. I think their website is hslda dot org.<br /><br />This really stinks, but I wouldn't give up just yet. Hopefully, you just ran into one of those wonderful "anti-homeschooling" people in financial aid.;-(Cindy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259670302986734698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138151093938236548.post-76674882571591552472016-07-09T18:38:43.229-05:002016-07-09T18:38:43.229-05:00Nandry - has Jay contacted you about calling on th...Nandry - has Jay contacted you about calling on the thrifting community to help you out via a gofundme page or a tip jar? You've given a lot to this community and I'm sure many of us would like to do what we can. It might not replace your entire scholarship but it can get you going. That is, after all, what a community is for - to help each other out!

Welcome to real life, right?
My parents were...Oof! Welcome to real life, right?<br /><br />My parents were able to help me with 4 out of 5 years of school, and I gave them all of my 3 co-op salaries (~50k pre-tax total). In the end, I had to get about 30k in loans for my last year. Chemical Engineering BS/MS programs are expensive!<br /><br />Anywho, we ended up paying it off quickly. So in the end, I wish I had the ability to get better scholarships, but as long as you aren't choosing a major which doesn't' pay well at all and you're decent with your money (you seem to be), you'll be fine.<br /><br />A loan can help out a bunch when your other option is to delay until you have the cash on hand to pay for tuition! The worst part is that you put all the work in to get the loan in the first place. If they just told you up front "can't do it" then you wouldn't have wasted all that time. :|Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279487107103061527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138151093938236548.post-13940776716442308162016-07-08T01:39:13.436-05:002016-07-08T01:39:13.436-05:00That is just plain wrong.

Sometimes there is another way to get the same result.Elsie4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04307997790353784787noreply@blogger.com
