-- Posted by amishgirl at 7:59 am on July 13, 2007 ok heres a little back story. I'm Tanya hi. I got a partial ride for Elmira College (18 per year out of 42) in New York I am going to be majoring in English and business. I am the first out of my intermediate family to go to college. I am seeking scholarships, loans, grants because my parents barely make $15,000 a year after business expenses. I have tapped out all federal loans. i've applied for FAFSA and got a little bit there.  I got the max for each one. I still need about 5000 for the first term. I have been denied every loan I've applied for, my parents wont help because they dont like me going out of the state, and they cant afford it. They have no credit so they are no help there. So what I am asking is can any one help me? I am desperate. I am not asking anyone for money just a few links to some good sites that would help me out. Please. I really need help. -- Posted by apetape at 8:00 am on July 13, 2007 www.fastweb.com has scholarships to search for -- Posted by amishgirl at 8:01 am on July 13, 2007 Quote: from apetape at 10:00 am on July 13, 2007 www.fastweb.com has scholarships to search for been there done that. applied for every one -- Posted by apetape at 8:03 am on July 13, 2007 http://www.campusdoor.com/ tried this one? -- Posted by Maxxie at 8:07 am on July 13, 2007 Get a job -- Posted by amishgirl at 8:08 am on July 13, 2007 Quote: from maxxie at 10:07 am on July 13, 2007 Get a job you jerk i work three jobs -- Posted by amishgirl at 8:09 am on July 13, 2007 Quote: from apetape at 10:03 am on July 13, 2007 http://www.campusdoor.com/ tried this one? ummm it said the borrower's birthdate must be greater than 1907.... -- Posted by KBear at 8:09 am on July 13, 2007 There is a program called EOPS that pays for your books and you dont have to pay that money back if you qualify, i duno if all states have that program, u should look into it, here they start handing out applications July 16. -- Posted by apetape at 8:10 am on July 13, 2007 Quote: from amishgirl at 8:09 am on July 13, 2007 Quote: from apetape at 10:03 am on July 13, 2007 http://www.campusdoor.com/    tried this one? ummm it said the borrower's birthdate must be greater than 1907....
