Hi Tate: Wow - tough question. First, do not give up. Keep moving forward. Every school has money to help people like you and me!
I worked my way through undergrad, grad and law school. It is not easy. I still haven't caught up on all the sleep I missed! (just kidding) Next, look to SUNYs. Great schools and great education. They have State awards you can get. Plus most schools are in towns that bulk up during school session. They need workers. Helps pay the bills. Keep your grades up because that will help with scholarships. Next, look at your community. Often there are companies that have scholarship programs. There is a program - Say Yes to Education - where Wall Street guys help with education costs.
There are no easy answers. However, keep moving forward. If I can do it you can do it - and I started in Brooklyn!
Tate it is not as bleak as you think. In the end it's kind of fun - you get a ton of experience and can be proud of yourself for all you've done!
Good luck!
Thank you comment icon I appreciate this, thank you for the advice. Tate

Yoav’s Answer

It is completely understandable to feel overwhelmed and anxious when looking at the enormous cost of higher education, whether it's law school, flight school, or undergraduate college, and the fact that you are taking full personal responsibility for your financial future shows incredible maturity and determination. When it comes to funding your education, the key is to approach it like a job, starting with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, as this is the gateway for most federal, state, and institutional aid, regardless of how much scholarship money you ultimately earn, and you should complete this as early as possible every year. Beyond that, dedicate time each week to aggressively search for and apply to as many external scholarships as you can, focusing not just on large national scholarships, but also on smaller, local, and niche opportunities—those with fewer applicants often have better odds, and multiple small scholarships can quickly add up to a significant amount. Remember to also explore grants, which do not need to be repaid, and consider options like being a resident advisor or pursuing work-study programs once you are in college, as these can provide income or housing stipends while you study, ultimately creating a diversified financial strategy that ensures you achieve your goals without being solely reliant on scholarships. Your commitment to both your studies and your financial planning is an extremely powerful combination, and you absolutely have the capability to make this dream happen; good luck with your applications.
