<p>Well, this is actually kind of embarrassing & I have no excuse, except that I was lazy, naive & I made a big mistake. </p>
<p>Anyway, in fall 2011 I started my first year of community college after graduating HS in May. The only financial aid I had was a Federal Pell grant which covered everything & then some.</p>
<p>Well, on into the semester, I dropped two classes which put me on academic probation. I passed the two classes that I didn't drop. </p>
<p>I went back for Spring semester (I thought maybe I would feel more motivated/like the classes more/my family would almost disown me if I didn't)</p>
<p>I ended up dropping one class, the one of my four classes that wasn't online, and I failed all of my other classes. </p>
<p>Now I have moved out on my own, I feel like I have grown up a bit, I realize the huge mistake I have made & I am fully ready to commit to furthering my education. However, I won't be able to afford to attend without financial aid. </p>
<p>I feel almost certain that after what I did, I won't be eligible for financial aid/the Federal Pell Grant. </p>
<p>I was considering starting back in January. </p>
<p>Will I [ever] be eligible for financial aid again?</p>
