<p>a dual enrolled high school senior under the age of eighteen. I need it to be about 800 dollars, and I only need it for a semester.</p>
<p>Please don't use state scholarships. I already applied...and was denied.</p>
<p>Where I live, if you are a student still enrolled in high school, all of your classes are free…As far as scholarships go, you probably won’t be able to get one because you are not a full time student in college. I would recommend talking to a financial aid counselor at your college to see what your options are.</p>
<p>Have you tried talking to a counselor? When I was in high school, if a course wasn’t offered at my high school and it wasn’t an elective (such as higher level math or a course that didn’t have an AP test… I can’t remember the exact criteria) then the district had to pay for it.</p>
<p>Coming from the community college/high school agreement handbook thing:</p>
<p>“Students are to pay for their class in full unless a scholarship is found. [Info about the state scholarship] High school students are not eligable for financial aide. [Blah blah blah] Students are entitled to one fee waiver the first semester, and the college may or may not offer fee waivers the second.”</p>
<p>I’ve asked the K12 Liason and she said that they aren’t doing fee waivers.
I need to take English at the college and I need to take Psych (my school doesn’t offer AP Psych. -___-)</p>
<p>David, maybe the rules are different in you state, but here (mich) if your hs guidance consoler approves you enrollment plan, he or she submits that plan to the svhool board for funding, and generally, it is funded. You seem to be relying on information from the college. Start with you guidance counselor instead and ask how to fund it.</p>
<p>If you dual enrolled plan is not actually an approved plan but merely a perceived necessity on your part, you are unlikely to find funding. You may, however, ask the college about a monthly payment plan, and work during school to pay your way. Best wishes!</p>
<p>I’m quite confused. Are these courses you are taking REQUIRED to be taken at the community college? Are you saying your school does NOT offer English (which is required for graduation) to you? That makes no sense.</p>
<p>It sounds like you WANT to take these courses at the community college, not that this is required. Please clarify.</p>
<p>In my state the student (parent) pays for dual credit classes offered thru the high school. There is a small state scholarship you can apply for which covers a very small portion. If you are very low income (like 0 efc) there is also a state grant that covers the remainder. The only dual credit scholarships I have heard of are those offered by the state.</p>
<p>@kmcmom13: I am already working and on a monthly payment plan. My first semester is taken care of…it’s my second I’m working on.</p>
<p>@thumper1: Okay…because of my testing scores I’m only allowed to take AP Lit or English at the college. I’m not allowed to take standard. School’s already started (and has been going for about a month) so it’s too late to have my schedule changed. I couldn’t take AP Lit because of a scheduling issue.</p>
<p>@thumper1: Also, it’s not that I WANT to take the classes…I need a Sociology and Psychology credit for my college which my school doesn’t offer. Sociology is only taught at the college the time AP Lit is taught at the high school.</p>
<p>David, have you asked your guidance counselor if the school board can pay for the courses not offered? And when you say the college needs sociology, do you mean the college to which you want to apply after graduating? In that case, you could take soc in the summer or pick it up in your freshman year I suspect, unless that throws you out of sequence for your intended major. Schools realize that every course is not available at every school. Best wishes!</p>
