<p>The specific scholarship guidelines may change for 2011, but the search strategies discussed will still be useful to you. As others have written, there is no Financial Aid Fairy out there who will resolve your problems for you. However, if you can keep your own eyes on the prize, you can achieve your own dreams.</p>
<p>Happydad’s family is Spanish-Cuban-Venezuelan so I have seen plenty of crazy behavior in my time. If your insane Colombian family is more insane than the average, do your best to keep your own self sane. Over the long term, perhaps you will find better ways of dealing with each other. Perhaps you won’t. But if you become insane yourself, you will never achieve anything.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
