  • 0:00 - 0:01
    - With my dad's income,
  • 0:01 - 0:04
    I was not qualified to receive any financial aid.
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    From there I decided to go out and look for scholarships.
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    I've been very fortunate enough to receive enough to where I'm able
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    to pay at least 80% of my college costs.
  • 0:16 - 0:20
    My process about looking for scholarships was going out and just talking to people.
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    Talking to teachers, talking
    to college counselors,
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    talking to employers.
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    Just going around and talking to people,
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    networking, being able to ask for help.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    A lot of people know other people
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    who're willing to help out,
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    help you look for scholarships.
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    Going on the web; just click
    in and Google scholarships.
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    I would encourage everyone to go out,
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    no matter your financial situation,
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    scholarships can provide
    you great resources,
  • 0:48 - 0:52
