I have no real expierence in the getting college paid for but I do know being on
the low income side that certian places especially in a case like yours you can
get pell grants ETC...And others. But the first place to start I would think
would be your local state assistance services. If that does not work, try
seeing if someone like McDonalds Corperation would help. My husband works for
them and they help a lot of people out. The only thing with them you do have to
carry a certian GPA once you start college. If you need more info on that feel
free to contact me.

article for kids who would like to go to college and
can not afford it. My daughter had so many surgeries and complications in
her freshman and sophmore year that her GPA is too low to get any
scholarships. I was told the disibility counselors at the college campuses
could help but, we have not had any luck..
Can you please help..
Thank you
