So I have been having some problems with Financial Aid at school. I had to fill out a FAFSA at the beginning of the year and then make corrections to it as things change. Well I had to change it because I got married. When I had problems correcting it I called the FAFSA people and they told me how to fix it and finish filling it out. I did that and then I get something in the mail saying that I need to fix something else, so I filled out those forms and sent them back. One day I was looking at OSU's site and it said that all of my financial aid had been taken away so I called OSU financial aid department and they said that I can't change my marital status from what the original application said. So I asked them if they were sure because I don't want to change the application again and then get something saying that I put false information on there....which would mean really big trouble...false information on a federal document! EEK! So they told me that they were told to do the applications that way so I got them to email me and then printed it out so I had proof (just in case) and then corrected my FAFSA for the 3rd or 4th time. I switched everything back and then submitted it and after 2 weeks it said that it was still processing. I called the FAFSA people and they told me that I neeeded to correct it back to single status because I couldn't change in the middle of the year. (Something they didn't tell me I had to do when I called the first time a few months ago...ugh!) I told her that I knew that and had submitted it and it was still processing. Turns out one of the signatures didn't go through so I did it again and the minute I saw it was processed I walked down the financial aid office and talked to a woman. She said she was really sorry that my aid had been taken away but I was early enough that she thought she could fix it. I was sooooo blessed because not only did I get some aid given back to me, it's enough to basically cover my tuition for the whole year!!! Praise the LORD! It may not seem like such a big deal but tuition at a university is around twice the price of a community college, so it would be a pretty good chunck. I just thank the Lord for working everything out. He is good

Sorry you have been having so much trouble with this all, but am so thankful that it is all worked out now. Good luck on your classes and I pray you will like the nursing field studies as well as you did the designing. Just hang in there - yes, God is so good and always makes things work in His way and His time. Love you so much, Mamo
