I spent around 6 hours going through that monstrosity and only managed to get to page 5 of the database and did not find anything useful for me in that entire process when I was a student. Maybe if IU had a financial aid department that actually HELPED their students find scholarships and grants they qualify for she’d have a shot, as her history likely qualifies her for a few things, but good luck navigating the absolutely terrible database that has zero organization, zero filters or searchability, and the absolute worst means of navigating I’ve ever encountered (thousands of pages, you have to click through the pages one at a time, every time you click on one of the entries to view the full entry and go back to the database it puts you back on page one, it takes forever to load each new page, etc.). She basically has very little in the way of good options. Basically her only real option would be to drop out, get employed somewhere that has an education incentive, like Cook Medical or a few other places, and then re-enroll through their program at a later date, but then she’d be restricted to whatever degree plans they are willing to cover and most of them also only pay for a portion of your tuition IIRC, and whatever schooling she gets would be on top of a full time job likely doing menial labor. And good luck getting a job in Bloomington that pays sufficiently to actually cover even a portion of tuition at entry level. Also, IU’s workstudy doesn’t really pay enough on top of being nigh impossible to get into given all the competition, so she couldn’t rely on that being enough to cover her tuition, living expenses, and books without some other form of financial aid.
