I NEED A SCHOLOARSHIP
ARE THERE ANY OUT THERE FOR 2009 THAT WILL NOT LOOK AT MY PARENTS INCOME? I DO NOT LIVE AT HOME AND HAVEN'T FOR NEARLY A YEAR, BUT EVERYONE WANTS TO LOOK AT MY PARENTS INCOME HOW UNFAIR. I LIVE WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND I CAN'T EVEN FIND A JOB AND I RECEIVE NO FINANCIAL HELP FROM MY PARENTS. BUT SINCE MY PARENTS MAKE GOOD MONEY I CAN'T GET ANY HELP. I AM SO DISCOURAGED. I WANT TO BECOME AN RN BUT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE.
Outdated

I need Scholarship - my mom lost her job
I am interested in obtaining scholarships since my mom lost her job. She was the only bread winner in my family. I am the youngest and my middle sister is also in college.
Please help up find scholarship to fund our education while waiting for my mom to get another job. I am accepted to attend NYU this fall.
