My tuition is paid due to some unfortunate things. I may be able to finish grad school with no loans at all and still have a couple grand left over.

My Dad committed suicide right before i turned 15, the government paid me around a thousand dollars a month to supplement the lack of income due to his death until I turned 18. So upon starting college I had about 45000 (That was also what was left of the life insurance check) in the bank, I went to a cheaper instate college and now have a part time job to pay for groceries and fun stuff so I don't dip into it as much. My Mom was kind enough not to use the money when I was in high school and now I don't get to touch it myself until I graduate, she has the only access to the account that has it and if I want money for say rent (250 a month i pay for groceries and utilities) I have to ask her to transfer it over to our joint account and then put it in my personal account.

So she states that my lack of financial aid isn't really effecting me that much. It was 4 grand after rent to go to school this semester. Normally it is 2 grand or less after Aid.
