keeping a gpa based scholarship

Hi! I am seeking advice on a major mistake that could force me to drop out. I have a scholarship that requires me to maintain a 3.0 each year to keep it. However, the fall semester I had a really, really bad time with my classes and mental health (hard classes, unforgiving professor, death in the family, etc). This semester I've been working pretty hard on focusing on school. I quit my job to focus on my grades and have done...decently to say the least. However, I am absolutely terrified that I'm going to lose this scholarship. From how I'm looking at it now, I'm honestly not too sure if I'm going to raise the overall average back to a 3.0 unless I get like 3 A's. I'm not sure if I should contact the financial aid office, my advisor (probably not helpful), or just beg each professor to bump me to an A. The issue with this is that they've already been graciously lenient in allowing me to get extensions. I feel disrespectful to ask them to bump my grade a few letters because of my own stupid mistakes. I feel horrible, to put it lightly. I'm absolutely terrified of losing this scholarship because it's the only reason i can afford to go to this school. I'd apply to others if I knew where to find them, but it's been impossible to get any that's more than 5,000, and even that was a lucky break. Any help is appreciated

TLDR; i need a 3.0 average but fucked up last semester and don't know how i can manage to fix it now. Scared very scared
