<p>Since j07 is Hispanic there are many scholarships specifically for Hispanic students. A quick Google search:</p>

<p>Check with local Hispanic organizations in the area you live. Since you live in Texas there will be many Hispanic/Latino organizations that most likely offer scholarships to students in your specific geographic area as well as the entire state.</p>

<p>Many colleges and universities also offer specific scholarships for those of Hispanic descent. </p>

<p>I agree with Marite that you should look at schools besides HYP. There are some great LACs out there that would love to have you on their campus. If they want you to visit be honest and tell them your Dad is just now working after being unemployed for four years and that you will need financial help to visit their campus.</p>

<p>See this thread for schools that offer good merit aid:</p>
