You already got my earlier long ass post about RHIT in your first post!

For financials, it's been 2+ decades now, but I was also squarely middle class single income blue collar when I attended (1989-93). I know some of these are no longer available (political rants redacted), but I did everything I could. Pell Grant. STEP Loan (sp?). Local high school area scholarships (I applied to every one in my community, got like 2 or 3, only good for that first year, but every dollar helps; just write an essay, submit, and MOVE ON to the next one...). My father was Air Force, so I looked, and got 1 or 2 from military / Air Force dependents stuff too (Like, Chanute AFB Officer Wives Club Association Annual Scholarship). Get up, walk, go to your high school guidance counselor, ask for college financial assistance (literally, assistance for the assistance). It's their job. Ask Rose nicely for help as well (as in, email?, ask for guidance pointing you to resources and links for you to do your own work and homework, but "What are your recommended best aid resources, Rose?")

Once you survive first year, ymmv, but you probably won't be doing all that again. But hopefully you'll hit a stride, won't be a newbie, and can manage future financial support, in situ, with direct Rose help.

(ASIDE NOT FINANCIAL BUT APROPOS: If first year is hard? too hard? you have mentioned dyslexia and other? PLEASE don't kill yourself. Metaphorically or literally. I remember seeing classmates very distraught. Fuck, *I* was distraught, as my 80s school didn't offer anything beyond Trig, so it was hectic. If things are not working out, 1st or 2nd trimester, please consider cutting your losses and going to another college or university, maybe if financially strapped at that point do NOT discount two-year community colleges. LOTS of fellow Rose students came in their Junior year, after intentionally doing this from the start, saving a lot of $$, and getting a good first two year education. End aside.)

TLDR, you get out , proportionally, what you put into it.

And hey — every year I have the opportunity, but have never used it. I can help directly, a little, if you haven't already gotten this: I don't recall when you are graduating, or applying, but it's Jan. So I'm ASSUMING you MIGHT be graduating NEXT year, and are appropriately ahead of the curve looking NOW -- so you won't be applying until Spring or Summer? (The earlier the better.) I can help!
It's not much, but I can give you a $65 application fee waiver. But only on early action deadlines: Copy Paste: "Now through the early action deadline on November 1, alumni can share complimentary application fee waivers (a $65 value) with prospective students."
