<p>I just got a letter that said they are unable to give me a grant. They gave me 3,500 in LOANS. I have absolutely no money. They said our financial aid was late. That was because my mom couldn’t concentrate, because my oldest brother died on Jan. 25. What the ****? What am I supposed to do?</p>
<p>call them up and explain about your brother</p>
<p>Hate to pry, but do you think you deserve grants? What exactly are your stats and economic situation?</p>

<p>You can appeal the grant. But call them first and tell them about your brother so they’re more inclined to help you personally with any paperwork. Your mother should call.</p>
<p>My stats are very good for the school. My SAT was 1990 (720M/640W/630V). I am 9 out of 279 (class rank). My financial situation is horrible. My dad doesn’t pay child support.</p>
<p>You and your mother need to contact financial aid. I’m sorry about your brother’s death. I’m sure the financial aid people will do their best to help given the circumstances.</p>
