I REALLY NEED SOME INSIGHT!!!! PLZ RESPOND GUYS
Don't panic yet. There are options available to help you.
How are your grades... do you think it's realistic that you'll receive any scholarships?
Your first step should be completing the FAFSA, the online application for federal student loans. www.fafsa.ed.gov. You need to file by June at the latest in order to get approved for loans for Fall 2010, so get started immediately.
Next, call your HS guidance counselor, as well as the financial aid office at the schools you hope to attend. They'll be able to provide info on scholarships and financial aid. If your household income is below a certain level, you'll be eligible for federal grants that you don't have to pay back.

Great response. Also remember to never give up on looking for opportunities to attend college. No matter the cost, it is worth it.
