Winter Ana Hernandez 03108753 ana.hernandez6@ctstate.edu Yes No Yes No No I had to use part of my budget to cover the remaining balance for my winter Anatomy and Physiology I course after financial aid was applied. Because the course compresses a full semester of material and daily labs into three weeks, I’m taking those weeks off work to keep up with the pace. Between the course balance I already paid and the income I’ll lose during those three weeks, I can’t afford both the required textbook and lab manual by the start of class. **APPLIED FOR AACTUS NOT AVAILABLE FOR FAFSA** 6af6159cd0542-Screenshot 2026-11-12 at 2.31.36 PM.png Yes Score was 0.9 2026-11-12 14:38:04 172.59.13.137 0 en-GB 6979
Fall Heidy Contreras 01562498 Heidy.contreras@ctstate.edu Yes No No No No I am currently experiencing financial barriers that make purchasing the 2 required books difficult. I already have to pay for my tuition out of pocket and having to add 300 $ right now makes it hard , and as a single mother of two, I have many financial responsibilities to manage. Unexpected expenses and additional bills create an even greater financial burden as I try to keep up with my household expenses and educational costs. Although I am committed to my education and determined to succeed, the additional cost of purchasing books places a strain on my finances. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance, resources, or consideration that may be available to help reduce this financial burden. 6aea39375f401-IMG_2988.png Yes Score was 0.9 2026-11-03 14:42:46 74.90.193.170 0 en-GB 6874
