Bad times

Today, I got an email stating that my scholarship request was denied, 51 days after applying with no response. I'm now forced to drop-out from my college degree because I ran out of money, and I've been unsuccessful at finding a job for two years either, thanks to Covid. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, after a lot of effort put into it and finally getting a scholarship, they emailed me saying they can't afford to fund me because they were impacted by the pandemic. I'd already denied other scholarship offers because theirs was the best offer. FML

Today, I went to see my guidance counselor. I was supposed to hear from my college about a scholarship by October 3rd. I was worried since it was already the 2nd so I went to talk to her. She never turned in my nomination. Goodbye $80,000 scholarship. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I spent ages applying for a scholarship on-line. I found out on the very last page that I do not meet the qualifications for it. FML

Is that even necessary? Why would they remind you of that? What did you say? What did you do? Did you chew their asses out? ...I'm a very curious person.

That is reaaly stupid... I feel your pain though - I am going to be so far in debt from student loans when I am finished it makes me want to cry. A few scholarships would have been nice. I hope everything works out somehow! 

What a bunch of morons. I feel your pain though, I also was rejected for a few important scholarahips and now I am going to be paying student loans until I die. And 25, you must not be of college age since you don't just change from your dream school just because you didn't get a scholarship. Maybe that college is the only one in the area that offers that major, as was my case. Or, perhaps the scholarship isn't even affiliated with any school. So please, try to refrain from opening your mouth unless you know what you are talking about.
