Today, not long after having had my college volleyball scholarship confirmed, I broke my ankle after stepping on and tripping over a toy my baby sister had left out. No scholarship and no college whatsoever now. FML
scooterr14 tells us more.
im OP.and the break was bad enough that the scholarship was revoked. im not gonna be able to play volleyball for a few years due to ligament damage. im an outside hitter and i wont be able to jump. i could switch to libero but i wouldnt even manage to red shirt. my grades are not high enough for academic entrance

That's horrible, I'm really sorry OP. There's gotta be something you can do? It'll heal eventually and you can play later?

Not an ankle injury. You screw up your ankle, you never get back to 100%.

Well there's something you can rub in her face when she's old enough.

That really sucks. But look at it this way- at least you have some time to work on that new novel you've been writing..

Yeah you're not from the United States and you're 21. As far as I know you ain't OP.

You're probably not the OP, but I'll post this here, anyway, since it'd be stupid of you to lie about something like this. Go to a junior college with a 2+2 transfer plan to go to the college you were offered a scholarship in. Your Pell Grant and Subsidized loans should pay for books/tuition even if you're out of state. Get a job to pay for an apartment and such. After 2-3 years of recovery/PT time, try out for the team again.

Take what you need out of your little sister college fund. She'll never know until it's too late. Karma.

Luckily this clear little thing called STUDENT LOANS came out only yesterday. Ydi for relying on going to college entirely on a scholarship.

we're in a bad economy, maybe something happened to her college fund, maybe her parents didnt save enough money, dont spead out random ydi's just because you dont know their financial situation and that scholarship was the only way for the op to get to college. plus you have to pay for student loans later, and from other people experiences, they can be a real bitch.

What?!?! She deserves it for going on a scholarship?! So if she had a choice between a college that she could only afford with her scholarship and a different college she could only afford with student loans, she should have picked the school that she can only go to with the help of student loans? Please tell me YOU'RE not in college...

WHAT?! You mean if she had the choice between a college she could only afford with a scholarship and a college she could only afford with student loans, you think she should pick the school she can only afford with student loans?! God, please tell me you're not in college...

WHAT?! So if she had the choice between a college that required student loans to attend and a college that she received a scholarship to for the purpose of offsetting cost, you think she should have taken out student loans? Please tell me you aren't in college.

Luckily a shit ton of young people rack up tens of thousands of debt for student loans that have outrageous interest tacked on and end up owing $800 - 1000 per MONTH after graduation... Student loans aren't the answer.

If it's out-of-state tuition, then it can be more than that, even. It's really not feasible, at all, to pay for college 100% with Student Loans. Any benefit you get in terms of higher pay/job security is lost on the decades of re-payment.

That happened to my friend but she tour her ACL and had to have surgery. Sports scholarships are awesome if you don't get hurt. Good luck!!!

They are supposed to honor the scholarship even if you get hurt in an accident. Maybe if you were hurt doing something stupid like skydiving they could revoke it, but not for a fluke household injury.
