Anyway, I'm a low income student, and I'm having financial problems with my school. I was sent letters confirming that I would receive the scholarships at the start of the school year, as well as other scholarships that I was already receiving. However, when I arrived at school three fairly large scholarships weren't credited to my account, including two that I had the previous year and met requirements to keep, and one that I had received over the summer by meeting requirements. The former two are nowhere to be seen in my account balance, and the latter has been put as "denied." Because I have letters confirming that Financial Aid had previously credited those scholarships to me, I budgeted for that amount of money. With the amount that they have credited to me right now, I will not be able to remain in school unless I get the other three. I'm a good student, I work hard and have a 3.95 cumulative GPA, and that's above the requirements, and I meet the credit hour requirements as well. As they sent me confirmation that I was receiving those scholarships and now the school accounting is saying i am not receiving them, what are my options?

Contact the folks you got the scholarships from and see what they tell you. If they say "Why, yes, you were granted these scholarships", then you'll need to get them to communicate that to the financial aid/student accounting office at the college.
