Financial Aid to continue on to College

ArmyWife started this conversation

 I am a 27 y.o. active duty army spouse with 2 children who is trying to go back to school . This will require time away from family and WORK . This raises a problem where payment is concerned . The field that I am most interested in becoming involved in is healthcare. It seems in the world that we live in today there is no way around a college education . I would really like to pursue this dream and contribute to society as a positive force, as well as take care of my families financial needs ( owning a home etc.). Please help!

Learn How to Get Scholarships

What you want are scholarships. You can get as many scholarships as you need. Are you aware that there are two kinds of scholarships? They are Needs based and Merit based. If you don’t qualify for the Needs based scholarships, you can probably find a Merit based scholarship if you look hard enough. Don't let the Merit part scare you. Most of the Merit based scholarships just want you to write an essay to qualify. These are the ones given by fraternal organizations, veterans organizations and the like. I have even seen them given by retail Business’s. Look first in your local area and then at the State and Federal level. Let everyone you meet know that you are looking for a scholarship, you never know what will turn up. A friend of mine got a $2000 scholarship for his daughter from a foundation that was set up by a person in their will. He found out about it from a friend of his friend. All his daughter had to do was write an essay about why she wanted to go to school. So keep looking, Don't give up. You might want to check out the website www.yourgrant.com/scholarships for more information and a list of scholarships available. There are several scholarships available for health care workers. Keep at it and you will succeed! Honest Grantt
