What can I do about getting royally screwed out of a scholarship?
I applied for the Hope scholarship, and to get it, you need two things: be a GA resident, which I have been since 1988, and have a 3.0 GPA, which I have. I was denied it, and when I called to find out why, I was informed that my horrible, evil backwards high school told them I never graduated. This kind of crap has been happening between Me and Them since I attended their miserable little school. I have no idea what to do. It’s a good ol’ boy town with a good ol’ boy system. To tell the whole story, the people at the scholarship program informed me that I need to get another high school transcript to mail to them to prove I graduated, but I want justice! This is so wrong! I KNOW these people did this just to be jerks, because like I said, this kind of crap happens ALL THE TIME. I’m not even going to go into how hard it was just to get my transcript the FIRST time to apply for college in the first place. I’m so fed up. Please, any advice? No bashing, please. I know GA sucks.

It is unfortunate, but you need to do what you have been required to do if you want to get your HOPE. In addition, talk to a financial aid and/or admissions officer at your school to see if they can assist you in obtaining your transcript from your high school.
I wouldn’t say Georgia sucks. The HOPE scholarship program, Florida Bright Scholarship program, and any other state program that offers free tuition to its residents are great opportunities. It’s just your high school that you are having trouble with.
Again, try and talk with a financial aid officer at your school for more information/guidance/help with your situation. Good luck!

Well you need to be smart and not angry here. You need to swallow your pride a bit and request a new high school transcript as you were asked to. Generally high school counselors are on the low end of the priority list as far as money being spent in schools so often they are underqualified and often that department is understaffed. I had a similar thing happen to me years ago, as the guidance counselor as they were called sent the wrong transcript into the college I wanted to attend.

Hey, sorry to hear about your troubles.
All I can say, yeah it sucks, but just be patient and persistent.
Sometimes, people don’t do their job. Don’t take it personal. It happens all the time. Just relax, give it some time.
Ask for another transcript, and resend it.
It will work out.
