I am SO sorry to hear this. Really sucks. By the way, are you in state or out of state? If you are in state it may be doable on your own. Here are a few practical suggestions:
- As others have said, go immediately to the financial aid office. Meet with someone in person. Not student who works in the office, but a real financial aid professional. Calmly explain everything that you described in your post here. They may be able to provide direct help and also refer you to other resources.
- Contact the local LGBT organization (I am assuming that's what you meant by your sexuality). They hear about this situation all the time and probably have suggestions for you. Here are some I found: UM Spectrum Center https://spectrumcenter.umich.edu/ Jim Toy Community Center http://www.jimtoycenter.org/ Michigan Pride http://www.michiganpride.org/ Lamda Legal http://www.lambdalegal.org/ (This is a national organization, and they may be able to direct you to resources)
- Would you consider starting a Go Fund Me page for friends and family to donate to? If someone told me that his family wouldn't pay his tuition because he was gay, I would donate.
