:( not getting financial aid it seems. Was hoping to utilize that for a laptop and my textbooks. Anyone got grants or scholarships I could apply for? Also can help directly here: ko-fi.com/gnomedic! 💜

That's a bummer. Your school's fin aid office should be able to help point you at both grants and scholarships. Also check with your credit union/bank, both of my credit unions offer scholarships of some sort.
