<p>I'm new to this and don't know much about financial aid. I'm wondering if there is any financial aid for a person in this situation. Are there scholarships or other things. I honestly have no idea. Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>Once I graduat hs, my moms income will be about 25k. I have no siblings, I know thats not in poverty but its not a whole lot either. Most of her income will go to medical (no insurance). Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>Unless you have large savings or other assets, you should be eligible for a large amount of need-based aid. When applying to colleges, be sure to look for ones that guarantee to meet 100% of need.</p>
<p>What Susan said. Saving and assets could really kill your fin. aid. </p>
<p>My father is deceased, my parents had no insurance then so we got no money what so ever, and my mother makes under $10K. My highest fin. aid package was $18K for a $40K college. </p>
<p>This was because we moved after my dad died, and mom kept the townhouse and rents it out for side money. Or so the fin. aid office said when I relayed my story and asked if my package could be reevaluated.</p>
<p>Sigh. Thank God for rich, generous uncles.</p>
<p>well if the school you choose to attend doesn't offer you enough aid, appeal, and show them that you're mom is on dissability.</p>
