Current Events > If I suddenly owe $30,000 outta nowhere, I might have a legitimate breakdown guy

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am in a 5-year program, and in my 3rd year, got a grant by my college that would pay for any current and future undergrad expenses (aka years 3 and 4). During the presentation for it, done by the people in charge of it, they told us that the one exception to the undergrad rule was the program I am in. As in, they would pay for my 5th year.

Now, here I am, in my 5th year, and it's not there. I call the financial aid office and they tell me that wrong information is given out at times, but they'll look into it.

Not blaming the financial aid office, but the people in charge of that program. Like, I really don't want an email that says, "my bad, lol" basically for why suddenly I owe $30,000 when I have nothing. Life has spiraled downhill fast since 2018, and this might be the tipping point. The blame lies partially with me as well, and I know some of you are just going to tell me all the blame is on me, but it's balogna. If it was a 3rd party source of funds, that'd be one thing, I should check with the college itself, but no, these are funds directly from my university. I put my trust in their word, since this presentation where I learned this was just oh so important, and now this.

I do not know what to do. Obviously, you guys can't really help me out here, and this is just venting, but I'm scared.
