Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received another letter of rejection from the university of my dreams. I got it the first time, but thanks for reminding me. FML
Today, I got 3 different rejection letters mailed to me from the same college. FML
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, I received a rejection letter from a college that I'd applied to 6 years 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 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 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 online. I found out on the very last page that I do not meet the qualifications for it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Look for Pell grants, and take out a student loan. Anybody can find a way to get to college. It just takes a lot of work.

Like half of all government agencies have internship programs that pay for college with a 3-5 year service opportunity afterward, so try for one of those. (Pro tip: ROTC is not just for engineers.)

seriously? if you are considering not going to college because of not getting a scholarship, you are a retard and probably shouldn't go to school anyway. If you do go, I hear that the University of Phoenix-Online is a stellar program

If you actually read it, it said thanks for the reminder that I might not make it there- as in, they need money to go, and without it can't. Not that they are intending on not going just because this one rejected them.

if you are from florida, you have it MUCH easier than most college students. I'm an out of state student going to a Florida school, and almost everyone I know has 75 or 100% bright futures. that covers 75-100% of your tuition, and in state tuition at Florida colleges is already cheap (around $4000). hell, I would be happy for my tuition to be $4000 and not have bright futures, since that is much cheaper than private colleges and most other state colleges.

Bright Futures is awesome! It's super easy to get. I have it myself. But do you mean $4000 per semester tuition or altogether? It definitely costs more than that for 4 years or more.

Bright Futures changed. It's no longer 100%/75%, it's a fixed amount based on what the average tuition is or whatever.

$4000 per year (2 semesters) but it's probably a little more than that now because a lot of colleges are raising tuition due to the crappy economy and budget cuts

Depends on where you go. I actually went to a pretty good public school in Florida.
