Unfortunately, I am ineligible to receive financial aid during the summer session because A) federal loans are only options during the Fall/Spring semesters and B) my university ran out of grant money long before they processed my application to receive it.
What this means for me is a tuition bill of $1,609.50, plus whatever costs I incur for food, transportation, and lodging, which must be paid out of pocket before I can attend field school. Money is tight for our family, as it is for many families these days, but it is particularly difficult for us to devote money to dreams when I've got to pay for my
daughter's therapies and orthotics out of pocket over the summer.
