I have never been prejudice before and just today, I’ve had feeling come thru me that are horrible. I’m a 35-year-old single mother of two, I’m a Veteran, and I’m employed full time. Therefore, I want to go back to school to get my bachelor degree in Human Services. I’ve applied to the school, I’m ready for classes and I’m looking for scholarships or grants on the FAFSA website. I plug in all my data about myself from my sexuality to my hobbies, I get 223 pages of scholarships, and I’m like wow! Nevertheless, I’m now on page 22 out of 223 and so far I have to be; "a child of employees of direct member companies belonging to the Automotive Recyclers Association.” "must have at least 1/4 degree Indian blood from a federally recognized tribe." or "be an African-American, Hispanic/Latino, or Native American" or be current member of the NAACP and must not have reached the age of 25 by the application deadline"
What happened to a basic scholarship or grants? Any suggestions to other website

I am currently working, single mother of one, and not receiving child support for the past 3 months-I went into the DHHR office to update my son’s WV Chip insurance – and although I am not receiving child support- the only "So called support " I was qualified for was .00 in Food Stamps for the month of December 2007 – I have a 16 year old son – what is .00 in food stamps going to do for me and my son on the holidays. I kindly walked out – but it’s sad that even single parents working full time jobs don’t have the support – because of their guide lines of who is qualified – I say they need to raise the guide lines of monthly income – buying groceries is high everywhere.

P.S. Ms. Oprah if you are ever reading this – Please have minority issues addressed – the NAACP did not help me when I needed them to stand up for my rights!

Thank You
