This is tooo funny! I was in school ALL day trying to get my financial aid together! The lady in the financial aid office told me to go to admissions and speak with the person in charge of the grants that my school gives out (not the state/government). The financial aid lady told me to "act the fool" if I had to, but try to get them to give me some "free" money. She also said to claim hardship as much as possible. (I went in there and cried to them folks!) I was not playing! Turns out, there are a lot of school-based grants. The higher your GPA, the more grants you qualify for. Try talking to someone in your school about this. Good luck!
