I could really use some prayers as I try hard to get my financial aid reinstated. I’m attending a 4-year state university and the tuition, while cheaper than private schools, is still steep, especially since I’m unemployed at this time (and have been since Feb. 2012). I’m working REALLY hard to complete my degree so I can graduate by Fall 2015 so I’m attending full-time. As a result, financial aid is necessary and I’ve been receiving federal student aid and college grants. I received an email earlier this year that warned me that I was over the maximum credit hours due to all the courses I took at the community college level and that I was under the passing rate because I suffer from depression which caused me to lose focus earlier. I’ve turned all that around and but still have to suffer the consequences of my earlier problems. I had to gather paperwork from my doctor stating that I had legitimate medical problems and that I have recovered. I am meeting with my advisor tomorrow to go over the courses that I still need to complete and sign a graduation contract stating that I will only take the necessary courses and will complete every course with nothing lower than a “C”. I had to do something similar last year at a different school before I transferred so I’m used to this. That doesn’t make it easy, though. I am freaking out because I don’t want to have to delay graduation. I’m 30 years old and still living at home and I really want to change that.
PLEASE say some prayers that I’m able to successfully appeal the financial aid decision and continue my degree normally without another hitch. Also, if you could say some prayers that I’m able to get help from the Disability Resource Center on campus, I’d appreciate it! I gave my doctor the necessary paperwork and he is filling it out this weekend so I can pick it up. I should have done this years ago but never got around to it. My success is very important to me so any resources I can use, I’m taking advantage of.
