<p>Have you thought of applying for scholarships? I know there’s a lot of scholarships out for children of immigrants. And, also coming from a low income family, I’ve talked to reps for Yale, UPenn, Penn State and NYU and when I talked to them about financial aid, they were all very confident in their aid programs to get me through college. Colleges, Ivy Leagues especially, with very strong alumni, think (and know) that if they help you out and you keep your grades well and are successful, that you will donate to them.</p>
