Can you help me get a full ride scholarship or grant with my situation?

Asked by Emeraldisles5 (160points) June 25th, 2013

My mother is in a ton of medical debt from being hospitalized many times and being sick. She has a ton of credit card debt, and is lucky to even be working part time, but it’s really not enough. We stay with my grandmother who has a huge mortgage and debt of her own, and she can’t help my mum out. My parents have been divorced for ages, and my dad stopped sending child support when I was 18, around the time my mom was sick and loosing her mind. It’s been awful , especially the past couple of years with illness, debt, verbal abuse, and no one who can help because they have problems of their own. I have been searching for even a part time job since before I graduated last year, to try to see if I could save up money, and nothing ever came through, except for being sexually harassed. I was told to go for modeling, but again no money and no connections. I’ve been interested in applying to health club like jobs or pharmacy, or coffee shop type jobs,like Starbucks, and clothing and book stores, etc. I’m more of an introvert- ambivert type, and I learn quickly on some things. I was stupidly encouraged to apply to schools, when all hell was breaking loose, but it was so stressful I could only think of doing well enough in my classes, and I did do very well. My dad is super overwhelmed working from home, but he does send my grandmother money. I’ve visited some community colleges, and even looked into Southern New Hampshire University and Lincoln Tech, because I have a few interests, but they all want loans. I know someone who has a hundred grand in debt, and all she can do is volunteer. I do not feel comfortable taking out loans for obvious reasons, and want to know if there’s another way I can approach this. This is extremely stressful and scary for me, seeing how it’s still very bad out there. Math is not my thing, but I am interested in dental assisting, exercise science, and creative writing. I just signed up to be a volunteer at an animal rescue league.I have a job interview at CVS tomorrow for a Pharmacy Tech position. Can anyone understand what I’m talking about, or help?
