Question by Guts For Breakfast: Is it possible to get a college grant if you have lyme disease? Or if you get open heart surgery?
I have lyme disease. It’s causing problems with my heart which may result in me needing open heart surgery. That will use up all of my college money if I end up being paid it. We don’t even have half enough money for college to commence with. Is there any kind of grant or scholarship or something for any of this?
Please link me to anything if you know of a excellent site.

First, make sure you have filled out the application for Federal Apprentice Aid at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Second, there may be scholarships out there specifically for this. You could start by signing up with www.fastweb.com (it is free), and seeing what is available there. Applying for scholarships does not hurt you! Apply for as many as you can!
Third, get yourself to the Financial Aid Office of the college you are plotting to concentrate. Sit down with one of the advisors, and tell them in this area your situation. It is possible that there are special scholarships, grants, or other programs at your school for people with extensive medical expenses.
Most importantly, don’t give up!
