You need to find out why they won't pay for college anymore. Are you not taking enough classes? Are your grades too low? Was the financial aid only for a specific amount of time?
I would strongly urge you to check into scholarships and grants also. |

| Does your school offer summer school options? My daughter was able to go, even though she didn't need the academic support, she did need the behavioral support. |
