Hey everyone! I’m 17 and graduating from High School in a few months. As of right now, the chances of me going away next year are slim to none. I’m thinking of maybe teaching at a university eventually (lots of college!), so I’d like to get away as soon as possible so I can get on with my life :confused:
So yeah, if you could all pray for me that would be great. Thanks and God bless!

Scholarships, grants, and loans, start looking into these seriously right now if you’re serious about education. If you’re really desperate the military is another potential avenue of school funding. Best of luck to you.
 
Suggest you go talk to the local Air Force or Navy recruiters in your area. “Desperation” has nothing to do with serving your country. I advise the above two, as you will have time after duty to study in the barracks and they offer lots of college courses on line or on base - in some situations. You could probably earn your Associate degree while in the service and use the GI Bill to finish at a four year college with money left to pursue your Masters.
Good Luck
 
Praying for God to help you get admitted into a good college. Praying that you will do your best to get in a college and will let God do the rest. Amen.
 
Make sure you fill out a FAFSA form too to help you with your educational needs. See your school counselor on how to do it. You remain in my prayers.
 
I will pray for you.

If the military isn’t your calling, see about applying to your local community college. You essentially get the same first two years of education as you would at a university, but typically for much less cost and with much more personal attention (i.e. smaller class sizes). Many community colleges have articulation agreements with larger schools, so your entire degree transfers, and sometimes you are even guaranteed entry into a four-year college once you graduate. That’s exactly how I went about it, and it has opened so many doors for me.

Good luck, and God bless!
 
If money and debt are issues, consider Berea College in KY. EVERY student gets a four year full tuition scholarship. It is a generic Christian college with a very good academic reputation.

Thanks for the prayers and suggestions, everyone. I’ll look into all that. God bless!
