Just got back home from applying to the local college. I'm finally ready to go back to school!
Going to an accelerated bachelors for nursing. Its a 1 year nursing program, which i am hoping to get into Aug 2010. This year starting summer, i'll be going back to school year round to take my sciences and prenursing courses since i don't have that from my other degree. I have to take about 34 credits. I haven't before but i have to apply for scholorships and student loans since i am have to pay for school and living expenses. From what the financial advisor told me, i'll be applying for stafford loans and i can apply for a scholorship at the college but i heard that there are a lot out there, that they give you money for being a minority, female, etc. So where can i find these scholorships? And what if the stafford loans are not enough? Help! |

How expensive is your school? I go to a technical college for Radiology Tech and I pay roughly $400 a semester for 2 classes with 4 semesters a year. I pay out of pocket. I'm not sure if there are any scholarships out there for straight, caucasian, males who don't play football and can't solve 24223516.2205 X .0002325^18 off the top of my head.
I just had to sacrifice some fun time but it'll feel great coming out with no debt.

Try fastweb. Its what I used when I was trying to find grants and scholarships for myself. It has a ton of questions to help find out what you're qualified for.

![]() Now for scholorships, do they just give you check that you can do whatever you want with, or does it get applied to you tuition? Great idea! Thanks! |
