Help us stay in school

Hi there. We are Troy and Nicole. We are a loving couple who want to get our first degrees so we have a better chance at establishing a brighter future for our life together.
We are in our first semester of college at Augusta Tech. While we both are using Pell Grants, it is not enough to cover all the fees, tuition and books, especially for Nicole as she is currently being charged out of state tuition. We are unable to obtain student loans to make up the difference between what is covered by the grant and what is needed to continue. We are low on options to raise the money we need to finish paying the full tuition and pay for the books needed for next semester's class load.
We do not want to sit out a semester to try to save the money. We really want to stay on track to complete our degrees in 2 years so that we can walk across that stage together at graduation. If we are able to get through this next semester, we feel that things will fall into place with funding, grants, scholarships, and other means of paying for the final semesters of our degree programs. Tuition is due on December 15th for our next semester which starts January 5th.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Help us see our dreams through to completion. Our eternal thanks and blessings to you all.
