This is the first time that I have applied for a grant to go to school. So I have no idea what I am doing. I have recently enrolled in Everest Online Business Management Program. If I can’t get the extra money to pay for the school. Then I will be unable to attend. I filled out the FAFSA. After my federal grant I still need $8336.00 to complete the term.
