     Dear people,

 I don't know just what to say for I have never done anything like this before, I will spare all who read this my long draw out sad story of surcumstace that leads me to the position of reaching out for help from others. I would like to attend UNLV for a Buisness degree and can't (I don't like the word can't it's like failure before you tried everything) so let's say I'm having trouble finding a way to get my dream started. this will require some help with tuition and books a computer most classes in my field of study suggest a laptop well I realy don't know what else to say. I appreciate those who have taken the time to read this and would like to thank all those who may have suggestions

     Have A Great Day   Sincerely,

                                                    FutureSomebody

Check directly with the school's financial aid office to see what types of assistance they can offer. There are government grants/loans that are very good. With you waiting this late, it is quite possible that the grants may have already been allocated out for the 2007-2008 school year. If you get the government backed Stafford loans, the interest rates are quite low and any monies that are left over will be returned to you in a check so that you can purchase additional items such as school supplies (but keep in mind borrow ONLY what you need since you have to pay it back). Another option that I suggest to lots of people is to attend a community college first. The rates are much lower and often once you finish the program you can transfer easily into state colleges. Affordability is within your reach.
