A few days ago I got a letter in the mail from the university I attend, recapping the financial aid package I received for the 2007-2008 school year. Today, I received another financial aid letter outlining the funds I'll be receiving for the 2008-2009 school year. My heart was broken when I realized they revoked a bunch of grants I was awarded last year.
i am a junior in high school and one thing i hate doing is the applcation and writing process for scholarships. I know that the money is out there for people to attend college, we just have to take a little time to complete them to have a chance of success. I have done only one essay and it had to be less than 200 words.
My aunt keeps telling me theres ways to get money for college just by being puerto rican or mexican or whatever. Is this really true. I have been searching online like crazy. And what have I found..umm nothing. 
lame so im guessing its not. The only thing i have found are website that make you write out essays and play stupid games and whoever wins gets it.
I am from Texas, and we just started a loan/grant program a couple of years ago. Texas pays your tuition and fees for college, and if you finish in 4 years, you don't have to pay it back. On the other hand, if you are one semester too late you have to pay it back like a loan. Well, a couple of years went by and all of a sudden, they were out of money
