Hey! I hope you’re all doing well. Best of luck to everyone here, and I hope everything works out in your favor!
For a little bit of context, I was in foster care so I get my tuition waived. I’m 21 currently, and have aged out of the system. Foster care failed me (and others) horribly when it came to being prepared for being an adult, so my mental health naturally tanked. I took time off of college to get my mental health taken care of, and can say I truly am in a better headspace for the most part. However I got kicked out of my living program for being gone too long in treatment so I became homeless.
When I went to enroll for the fall, I had a hold on my account so I was confused. I owe my college $1,846.40. I of course inquired about this, and they told me online course materials weren’t covered by my tuition waiver. (Which is crazy to me. That information would’ve been great before making that decision.)
I am in a very bad living situation homeless/couch hopping and desperately need to get out. I also want to go back to college. If I go back to college, it would solve all of the problems I am currently facing. I would get a dorm, I would be able to have regular meals, I would be able to work on campus and save up so I can actually start my life, I could afford doctors etc.
Are there any resources that anyone knows of that could potentially help out with this? I am currently unemployed due to having to move, can I get student loans with no income or credit?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. You’re all awesome!
