00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.392
- With my dad's income,

00:00:01.392 --> 00:00:04.122
I was not qualified to receive any financial aid.

00:00:04.376 --> 00:00:07.179
From there I decided to go out and look for scholarships.

00:00:07.404 --> 00:00:08.965
I've been very fortunate enough to receive enough to where I'm able

00:00:10.405 --> 00:00:14.432
to pay at least 80% of my college costs.

00:00:15.831 --> 00:00:19.808
My process about looking for scholarships was going out and just talking to people.

00:00:19.808 --> 00:00:23.538
Talking to teachers, talking
to college counselors,

00:00:23.538 --> 00:00:25.030
talking to employers.

00:00:25.182 --> 00:00:26.968
Just going around and talking to people,

00:00:26.968 --> 00:00:30.138
networking, being able to ask for help.

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:33.007
A lot of people know other people

00:00:33.007 --> 00:00:34.145
who're willing to help out,

00:00:34.145 --> 00:00:35.944
help you look for scholarships.

00:00:35.944 --> 00:00:39.652
Going on the web; just click
in and Google scholarships.

00:00:41.687 --> 00:00:43.650
I would encourage everyone to go out,

00:00:43.869 --> 00:00:45.614
no matter your financial situation,

00:00:45.614 --> 00:00:48.486
scholarships can provide
you great resources,

00:00:48.486 --> 00:00:51.687
great mentors, additonal assitance.
