Today, I received a full scholarship to the university of my dreams in England. Being born into a fairly poor family, I've never received anything for free and I worked on my grades like a dog last semester to achieve this. However, the scholarship is only valid if the UK stays in the EU. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into my dream university. I also got turned down for the scholarship and the loan that would enable me to actually go. FML
Today, I got back home after traveling in internet-scarce areas. The first thing I did when I got a solid connection was withdraw from a study abroad program I couldn't afford. Later I found the email telling me that I had been offered an all-expenses-paid scholarship. Too bad I'm not going now. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, I received a letter saying that I was accepted into university and that I qualified for a number of scholarships. Too bad an equivalent sum of money will be spent fixing the car I hit, after spinning out on ice, whilst driving home from said university. 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 was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I excitedly told my family that, after years of studying and dedication, I've been awarded a full scholarship to Germany. My mom's reaction was to start sobbing about me becoming a "heathen" and my dad and brother started telling Nazi jokes. FML
Today, I spent ages applying for a scholarship online. I found out on the very last page that I do not meet the qualifications for it. FML
Today, after spending years volunteering at community theatres and being accepted into a prestigious university for theatrical design, my public high school gave me a scholarship. All my mother could say was, "I'm sorry they wasted their money on you." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Great job OP now start a Gofund me page also there are many organizations that can help don't let this opportunity pass even if you work part time to pay for it, it'll be a high education at a far lower cost then a U.S. school, good luck OP

Brexit has been going on for years. You didn’t apply to one college did you?

They should’ve changed their policy. No one should be basically denied the scholarship because of government politics.

Woulda shoulda coulda whatever you want. There’s a difference between who’s fault something is and who’s problem. Set yourself up to mitigate predictable probabilities of other people screwing you. And if you are relying on government, whatever government and whatever side of it you’re on, you are going to be disappointed. Mitigate it; don’t rely on government.

Except it is their problem if they end up screwing more people because of their shitty scholarship requirements.

You’re screwed! I’m glad the Brits made the historic blunder of Brexit. It means we were not the only great Western democracy to lose our ******* minds in 2016.

And yet, no one wants to leave and they make sure every attempt to find an agreement on the terms is rejected. That's what happens when you want to stop being part of something but ask to keep the benefits from it. Highly unrealistic.

And Trump is only getting away with some of the horrors he wants.

Surely you knew the terms and conditions before you applied? Brexit has been going on for the last three years.

Britain voted to leave the EU over two years ago, before you applied, surely you should’ve realised that this wouldn’t have been upheld
