With my silly near 2.7 gpa and my physical disability(CF)

I a,m trying to find a way to raise about 1500-2500 Dollars for college for my first semester at a nearby community college.

I been looking for scholarships past 2 hours maybe. I just missed getting my PIN for my FASFA so I goto wait like a another day or 2.

At first I thought about maybe just waiting a semester but nah. I hear from all these public speakers at school about them getting free rides from a college and stuff. Where the hell do I get that?!? I have like 4-5 months until new college semester starts..wtf do I do!

well, that's not alot of money to raise. scholarships are very hard to come by esp the independent ones. since you don't need too much money, why don't you try finding a job since you still have a little time left?

Not only look on the internet, but you have to willing to do anything to get them.  Don't just look for high scholarships but look ones that are around $100- any money is better than no money. I personally think internet scholarships are overpopularlized and not to mention that lowers your chance of getting one.  Try asking around- try your parents' work places. asking your school counselor, and so forth. Also ask the community college to see if they give any or at least could assist you.
