I do not want to bore anyone with dramatic details of my situation. Instead, I will be as simple and as honest as possible. I am 31 and a single mother. My daughter is 8 years old. Her dad has not payed support since she was 3. I have gone back to school twice since then, once for my associate degree in science, and now for my BSN. I have ONE semester left. Two classes! That is all. However, I have used the maximum allowance for my student loans, and my grants do not amount to much since I also work every minute that I can. This makes my income go up, which makes my eligibility go down. I have applied to every scholarship possible, online and in the community. I have no family able to help me, and I have no credit left to use. It seems that there are scholarships for everything, except for me. I see scholarships for every race, culture, disability, etc. How about a middle class, single, caucasian woman who has worked everyday of her life to provide for her only child? Why is that too much to ask?
