usually the human resources or financial aid department can give u solid leads for local grants to your area....i also went to a tech school for architechual engineering and had friends with the same issue since we didnt have on campus housing.

shouldnt matter if its transexual student or not.....there are grants and loans there for all students, just apply for them.

Dude, that guy is my hero!!! Hes like a modern day Riddler!!!


I really doubt the financial aid department is going to be prepared to answer jens question.... Perhaps one of the other girls here knows??? I think a good place to start would be contacting the national GBLT alliance or whatever its called.

I don't know if there are any specific places that have scholarships just for tgirls, but there should be...

But if you haven't already, there places like sallie mae and and hattie m strong foundation that offer scholarships from time and perhaps financial aid. There websites are:

scholarships.salliemae.com

www.hmstrongfoundation.org

They helped me out a lot during my many years of school. Hope those websites help and hope you find the money you need because you are one of the few here, and I believe I speak on behalf of many men here, there are highly respected for your commitment to having an education as a tgirl and not resorting to escorting and pornography.

And I sincerely hope it stays that way. Keep up the good work.

yeah i need ADDITIONAL funding like i said i got 15k from sallie mae and the govt but its only for tuition it doesnt cover housing and such ... so i applied for another w/ sallie mae and they turned me down b/c my credit is bad * ie: 30k in dr bills*

the loan dept said since aveda is small it doesnt get the help that other larger schools get ... so they dont have anything but loans to offer me... and w/ no credit i cant get loans

[BeardedOne]

...god...i think theres like 7-8 smart people on this entire board

That's what we get for leaving the door open at night. Damned intellectuals wandering in, mucking up the space. Sheesh!

tsntx, Just curious, what kinda technical stuff are you technically studying? Maybe there are future (Or current) employers that might be able to help.

Somehow I worked full time and went to school full time and lived on my own. You can get somewhere around $11,000 a year in student loans as an undergraduate. $11,000 is like having a job making $16,000 after taxes. And I walked uphill both ways... ok so not that last part. But why are you not able to fund your own college with student loans and with your job that you comment on regularly?

I realize college is expensive, but in-state tuition even at UCLA isn't that much.

I thought on the show your parents funded your surgery or at least loaned you that money. Were they cosigners or primary signers? Are you saying that the hospital loaned you $30,000 for surgery with no credit right out of high school? That doesn't sound realistic at all. If someone did that all of the TS escorts would be all over that getting worked on then filing bankruptcy.
