She was intending to be finish with this program about the time I had graduated from High School but she fail a class in her last semester so she had to start ocer again this year. She also does not have good credit , so therefore I am pretty much hopeless and my father was only just a sperm donator. Can you please help me or give me any other suggestions?

I am seeking a grant to help with achieving a BS Degree in Business Management. I did receive the FaFSA Pell Grant for my Assoc. Degree, but I don’t qualify this time around. I would like to attend Hampton University or Old Dominion University here in VA. I’m 50 years old…yes I started late, but am eager to get this done. I appreciate a step in the proper direction. Thanks for your time.
