Everyone knows there are many different forms of financial aid… FAFSA, scholarships, loans, grants, work study. Everyone also knows that it takes time and effort to receive these forms of financial aids. Another thing everyone (should) know is that you may FAIL to receive a certain type of financial aid. You may take an hour to fill out a scholarship form but it ends up going to someone else. You may file the FAFSA and learn you do not qualify for work study at your college.
Do not become discouraged if you do not receive something though. That is one life lesson to learn… it is okay to fail at something. Failing to receive one form of financial aid does not mean you will fail at receiving every form of financial aid. Keep trying! Remember to file your FAFSA, fill out as many scholarship applications as possible, contact your college and find out if they have any special financial aid options for you, and do not quit!
It is said that Thomas Edison failed 1,000 times before inventing the light bulb. He accepted failure. You can too!
May the force be with you!
