Mr. President, If anyone can bring this country together, it is you. I am so outdone with the election outcome last night. However, my family, friends, clients, and I believe that you WILL overcome any obstacle. Just be strong and we will keep you and your family in our prayers. Thank you for such a courageous and fantastic job, God bless. -

Michelle, you don't pay back Grants or Scholarships. Your grandma borrowed money and the right thing to do is not ask for the inheritance. Let the inheritance pay the debt owed first. That money belonged to someone else before they gave it to your Grandma. You don't have to pay the debt. Just keep your money and use it for school. State Schools are much cheaper that a private. One pell grant can possibly pay for 2 semesters easily.
