<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

So, I work in Hollywood. Post-Production. Our receptionist is leaving in June to go to school, or at least, trying to. 
Basically, she makes just enough money to not qualify for Finical Aid, but not enough to take out a solid student loan. She has been applying for ridiculous scholar ships and just basically freaking out. I don't know too much about the numbers, but she can only take so much out on a loan, and after paying for school, she would only have like $13,000 to live on for a year. 

I was hoping that someone might have been in a similar situation and could help shed some light. Sorry my details suck.
