    This is nuts...

    If I was a single Mom again I would have my course paid for and recieve a grant and free lunches and a bus pass.

    Same if I was an asylum seeker. Instead, I have to go into debt to try and better myself and gain new skills.

    bunny, check if your college wefare office does something like a learner support fund - which is funded by the college for people on low incomes, you may be able to get some of the tuition fee paid.

    They have a College Support Fund which you can apply for Bun, says that they consider each case individually.

    Are you an unwaged dependant, Bun?
