The Struggle is Real
So as many of you have gathered from my past blogs, college has not been a breeze for me. This is my final year so I am trying very hard to push through. However, this year I have one more obstacle to overcome; tuition. I attend a small liberal private college and the tuition can be pretty high. This year I have to come up with about $16,000 to finish off my year.
The problem is I'm poor.
I know that the go to response is, "why don't you just get a loan?" The downfall of that question is that my credit score has been ruined by the loans that I already have. On top of that, in order to get a loan I would need a cosigner but everyone that I could ask, has poor credit. Since I have tried so often, I am not allowed to request anything that checks my credit for another 12 months.
So loans are out of the question. The next step would be scholarships.
This would be easier to accomplish if scholarships did not function on a lottery system and were more available for people who are seniors rather than just freshmen.
Any other steps seem to lead to the more illegal end of the spectrum of obtaining money.
Here is my last legal attempt. I need your help to get that diploma I have worked so hard for. Despite the fact that I need $16,000; I am asking for the bare minimum of raising at least $1,000.
