I have tried fastweb.com It looks for all scholarship applications I qualify for based on the information I gave. I have applied for most of them, but no luck. My EIC is around $8500 this year. That is why I can't get grants. The last time I recieved information on the stafford loan (it was last year or the year before, I can't remember) it said that if I went full time to the local college then they would give me $1000. The problem with this is that full time tuition (12 credit hours) at that school is around $3000, and I can't pay the difference. They wouldn't give me money for going part time, at least that is how I understood it.

But I will write to my local congressman. I don't know why I didn't think of that, it makes perfect sense. If I don't get any aid from it, at least I will have voiced my opinion. Maybe one day that will make a difference.

I retract the firing portion of my comment, that's a little harsher than I really meant. I'm just frusterated at how many people feel that doing just the minimum to get by is enough, even here it's a big population. If some people are in jobs where they need to work in concert with many other people, some of whome are less than timely with their contribution, I understand that and that's not who I was refering to. I was listening to one of my roommates friends whine about how she was going to have to take both macro and microeconomics in the comming semester and was seeing red at the time. Both courses are really a joke anyway, and I swear if I have to listen to Ms. 'but it's gonna be haarrdd

' even one more time I'm going to go postal.

Some people, some very smart people, find those courses difficult. Just because something is easy for you don't assume that it should be easy for other people. I find math (alg atleast) fairly simple and easy, but my boyfriend is on his 3rd try of the class after having had to take all of the remedial courses.
