<p>im a high school junior with a 2.9 gpa. i don't know if i can get any academic scholarships but i am going for need based scholarships. i am the first of my family to be born in the united states and hopefully i want to be the first to go to a university as well. my parents are divorced and they are not in the middle class or higher class at all. my dad makes around 10-20k a year as a taxi driver. my mom lives in a different state and she is a house cleaner. i live with my dad. i plan on applying to state schools next year because they aren't that expensive as private schools. i am i the national art honor society and i am on the track team at my school. i already registered for the Sat test in may and i might take the ACT in summer</p>
<p>with this much info right now would it help me pay for the universities i want to go to such as: Sam Houston State University, Tarleton state university, University of texas at permian basin, Stephen F. Austin state university, and Texas State</p>
<p>i am willing to do work study in college if i have to. but one option i don't want is having to go to a community college for two years and transfer to a university. i really don't want to do that. i want to go straight to a university.</p>
