I applied for financial aid with HES as I just got admitted this semester, however, I was told I don’t qualify for the grant only loans. I’ve been reading around and many people are saying they make more than me (I make around 70k a year) and they easily were granted 50% grant tuition. What exactly am I missing, is there any reason why I shouldn’t be qualifying for this grant? It’s already very hard for me to afford 1 class a semester and I was hoping to take 2 for this upcoming one, but I won’t be able to afford it, and I’m not taking out a loan because of interest rates. Any advice is appreciated :)
