Need Help getting into college

I have about a month and a half left before i have to move
out (July 1st), and with the horrible job market here in
Seattle, WA, or any other part of WA or even the USA for
that matter, I have two decisions:

1)Join the American Airforce...Which i really don't want to
do for countless reasons.

2)Join a college that has great oportunities and especially
a dorm which i can live at.

my problem is that i have applied for federal aid and my
results came back saying that i don't qualify for any pell
grants, "however there are other forms of aid that i can
apply for." What forms of aid is this? the site that says
this doesn't offer any links, and I'm left in the dark...

anyone have any ideas what these other forms of aid could
be? How do i apply for them? and any other info would
greatly be apreciated.

btw...i'm going to be setting up a confrence w/ the art
institute of seattle to try and see if i we can figure any
thing out.

thanks for the support phob...

anyways, i'm needing to bump this topic back up 'cause the
americans are starting to wake up/ go to work, and this is
who this topic is mostly geared towards.

yeah, you will not get any help from me, being a serb living
in serbia and dropped out of the univeristy too. But I wish
you luck, nano. Don't you ever sleep?

me sleep? i'm constantly fighting to keep a "sleep at night"
schedule, but it alwyas lasts like one day, then i just
naturally revert into my vampire state...last two
nights/mornings ago it was metal gear solid of the psx that
kept me up all night...

good for you that you don't have to work, my playing is
strictly limited to at most two hours in the evening, I have
to get up for work each morning. I'm playing Soldier of
Fortune 2 at the moment.

You might try contacting universities directly. Usually
they have a long list of grants and such that you can apply
for. Even if you don't get pell grants, you can still get
financial aid like loans, and if you do well enough in your
first year, they're pretty willing to switch it over to
scholarship, etc.

On the topic of being a vampire, I think I must be one too.
Every weekday I have to get up at 7:00 to go to work, but
then every weekend I'm always up till at least 5:00 in the
morning. It sucks.

coincidentally you're in Washington, so come to my school,
EWU :) it's cheap, and it's a pretty good basic university
education. if you're going to live in the dorms, though,
don't move into Pearce Hall unless you don't like sleep. oh
and don't move into Dressler or Morrison if brick walls
remind you of prison.

my heart's really content on going to the art institute of
seattle, i've talked w/ the head of admins there many o'
times, and she keeps talking about loans in my diff fams
name...like the loan is in their name, but i pay the bill. I
know that my fam won't go for it...my mother might...but
highly doubtful...also, my credit is shit...i owe over 2 k
to diff collections agencies, but i'm not sure as to what
all is actually reported on my credit record, so i really
don't think i can get loans...yet i really hope so...at this
moment, i'll practially do anything to keep my
personality/who i am, and not to be a reprogrammed cookie
cutter soilder of the US Airforce.

btw...i do plan on talking to the admins lady, later
today...for now, time for sleep...

Yeah, ring the individual institutions' financial
departments and find out what grant/loan packages each one
offers.

yeah...there are lots of different scholarships/grants/loans
out there...
youre best bet would be to talk to the school's financial
aid office...as its their job to help people with that sort
of thing
