Affiliate Marketing Secrets

ok, before everybody states the obvious here, i am recieving stafford loans and a pell grant with a VERY small FSEOG (100 dollar per disbursment.). I am attending American Intercontinental University Online.
sadly this school does not participate in PERKINS and since i am a colorado resident and they are based in IL, i dont qualify for any state aid (still trying to wrap my head around that one. i think they may be hiding something.).
they sent me a list of scholarship websites and i looked into them and i have one thing to say….YA RIGHT! i’m sorry but half of those things look like nothing but clickbank affiliated websites that promise for a chance to enter if you give them your info and a short essay but really what they want is as many clicks on certain buttons for 2-3 cents a click making them money.
does anyone have ANY advice? i have horrible credit from medical bills, no credit cards even if i could get one and about 4 months of back rent and utilities that have already eaten up 3 of my federal disbursements and every single one of my paychecks. please help,my landlord is threatening to boot me by the end of next month if i cant pay him off in full!
