I plan on entering an accredited 4 year college this fall. I need financial help in every way available. I was adopted at birth, and my adopted mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and has been unemployed for a year. I graduated with honors and I’m determined to make a bright future for myself.
Great job! This list will hopefully help you find a few good scholarships!
What state are you in? Because you are adopted you should be able to go to college for free in your state.
