1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,392
- With my dad's income,

2
00:00:01,392 --> 00:00:04,122
I was not qualified to receive any financial aid.

3
00:00:04,376 --> 00:00:07,179
From there I decided to go out and look for scholarships.

4
00:00:07,404 --> 00:00:08,965
I've been very fortunate enough to receive enough to where I'm able

5
00:00:10,405 --> 00:00:14,432
to pay at least 80% of my college costs.

6
00:00:15,831 --> 00:00:19,808
My process about looking for scholarships was going out and just talking to people.

7
00:00:19,808 --> 00:00:23,538
Talking to teachers, talking
to college counselors,

8
00:00:23,538 --> 00:00:25,030
talking to employers.

9
00:00:25,182 --> 00:00:26,968
Just going around and talking to people,

10
00:00:26,968 --> 00:00:30,138
networking, being able to ask for help.

11
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:33,007
A lot of people know other people

12
00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:34,145
who're willing to help out,

13
00:00:34,145 --> 00:00:35,944
help you look for scholarships.

14
00:00:35,944 --> 00:00:39,652
Going on the web; just click
in and Google scholarships.

15
00:00:41,687 --> 00:00:43,650
I would encourage everyone to go out,

16
00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:45,614
no matter your financial situation,

17
00:00:45,614 --> 00:00:48,486
scholarships can provide
you great resources,

18
00:00:48,486 --> 00:00:51,687
great mentors, additonal assitance.
