want to attend tad, but how?

[Efesyric]

Hello!
My name is Eric and I love the student art work and I want that kind of skill!
I'm going to be honest here, I'm poor so I can't afford it and I don't have a formal artistic background, but I want to study classical 2D animation ( hand drawn) and I know that without the traditional art skills I won't be able to get the skills that I feel are necessary for me to be successful.

Basically, I want to know how I can really get a scholarship to pay for this. I know its going to take hard work and I'm willing to work. What should I put in a portfolio?

Also my computer doesn't have a webcam or Skype at the moment so would it be possible for me to speak to someone about the school?

What comes with the tuition? Do I have to get all the supplies myself?

Please help me!
Thanks!

-Eric
