Hi everyone. I’m 22 and planning to start at NOVA full-time. I’m the first in my family to go to college, so I’m navigating everything on my own and it's getting overwhelming.

I am low-income and currently only aware of FAFSA, but between tuition and the cost of rent in NoVA, the math isn't adding up. My family isn't able to help me financially or with guidance, my mom is a I don’t care figure it out type of person so I’m looking for any "hidden" resources I might be missing.
