I can't afford to pay my tuition due to an unfortunate circumstance.

May 5, 2006
Hello, I am going into my last year at a prestigious university studying Business Management with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in Communications. Last year, my life took a spin when my father died of a sudden heart attack. My life has made a drastic change since I received the horrifying news. Although, I try to hide my pain from people, I knew that it would catch up with me sooner or later. I have never asked anyone for anything in my life until now. I have one more year of school left and I can't even pay for my tuition. Yes, I have tried loans (denied because I don't have credit), my dad side of the family has completely shut me off (they told me that I was not their responsibility), and my mother is having a difficult time trying to raise my two other siblings. I have been through a lot being alone and  three-thousand miles away from home, that I don't want to even ponder the thought about dropping out of college. If you have any suggestions please email me at myeducationfirst@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time.

Out of State tuition needs

Aug 29, 2005

I am looking for assistance to continue my education at Florida State University. My mom is a single mom and my father is deceased. I moved to Florida prior to starting classes at FSU but according to Florida statues I can not be considered an in state student. I will not be able to continue with my education at FSU with assistance.
