I am a single mother with a 16 year old daughter. She is in her senior year in high school and all of her life I have pushed the dream of college on her. I had hoped that by the time she was ready for college I would be in a better financial situation. That is not the case. There is no way I can afford to pay for or even take out loans for tuition for my daughter. Since we have a few more weeks before we have to start applying for financial aid, I am uncertain as to what she will qualify for. I don't make that much money, and I am always in debt. I keep 2 steps ahead of the collection agencies for the most part, but a few of my bills have headed there. My car is about to breakdown and we live in a rural area where I have to have a car to get to work and my daughter will need one as well just to get to college. Transportation, housing, tuition, books, supplies..... It keeps me up nights with worry. She's not a bad student, although not straight A's. Her goal is to be a high school guidance counselor. She wants to work with teenagers.
What is out there that we can apply for?
