Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>Hi, my name is miguel and i just migrated 6 months ago from the Philippines. I’m a permanent resident now here in california and I wanted to go to college, my dad is now unemployed cause of the recession and I dont even know where to start. I want to go to college, i tried to apply online for financial aid but i don’t know what to do next.</p>

<p>If anyone could possibly help me, I would really appreciate that… thanks!</p>

<p>Miguel</p>

<p>Are you in high school? What grade are you in? People usually apply to colleges when they’re seniors.</p>
