I think my GPA is 0.055 points below what it needs to be for me to keep my scholarship for school...I'm screwed because I don't know if my parents will pay for the whole price and I don't have enough to pay for it...this fucking sucks...

Talk to your teachers, most will try and help well this may only work if you have a small amount of classes taken so that a small increase in grades helps alot on your gpa.

yups and if that doesnt work and your parents wont pay, you can always get a student loan

Maybe you can work out a deal with your parents where they can pay for it for now, then you can work all summer and maybe part-time during school to pay them back for half of it (or all of it) when you got the money.

what is your gpa?

That doesn't sound like alot maybe if you tell them you will pull it up next semester i would worry.. but just contact the people who you got a scholarship from

What about a student loan? I'd contact the scholarship donor though, as LtrOusRtD suggested. And if there is a final you can possibly appeal the mark of, try that too.

There's still grants, other scholarships, loans, and even workstudy. Just make sure you get your FAFSA in and it should help you out.

You can still get loans and such.

Yeah, this happened to me. I got one point less on my final than I needed to get a B- in the class so the C+ I got pulled my gpa to 3.19 instead of a 3.20 where it needed to be. I lost the scholarship, and you might as well, but I'm taking out loans for this year and then if I can get my grades back up it will be reinstated for the years after next. The whole thing is bullshit, and my teacher won't respond to my emails, but at least I can get it back, after borrowing $20,000.
