Married mother of 4 needs help with books and other related expenses due to enrolling in college. Going for my A.A.B. My Stafford Loan only pays my tuition and I am eligible for but not guaranteed a Pell Grant.

Scholarships are FREE

Scholarships are FREE

Most people going to college get one scholarship and then apply for a student loan to cover the rest of their educational expensis.   This is OK, but student loans have to be paid back.  They cannot be forgiven even with Bankruptcy.  The only way out of a student loan is by dying or becoming so disabled that you can not work.

But there is no need to get a student loan.  You can get as many scholarships as you want to pay for your schooling.  There is no limit on how many you can have.  And you can get grants to pay for all the rest.  All it takes is a little effort on your part to hunt down and apply for these scholarships and grants. 

Go to www.yourgrant.com/scholarship.htm and check it out.  With a little effort and study on your part, you could go to college FREE.

Being able to get a college degree to provide for my children

I need help in tution, books, and being able to support my two boys while I go to college full time.   I have been out of school for twenty years.  I have been married three times.  I was afraid to go back to school after each year went by due to thinking I had forgotton or would fail.  I have taken the Compass test and was  very pleased that I did well.  My boys father is not in their life and does not pay child support.  I am currently working and due to this I can not receive assistance.  I have always wanted to go to college but  I got married at sixteen years old and had a son by the age of 17.  Now I have two boys who are 12 and 14 that I need a degree so I can support them on my own.  Its very discourgaing due to doors being shut since I am working.  I am being refused help due to I have a job.  I have worked and am still working but I would like to go to college full time not just to be able to support my children but for myself. 

Monetary Help For College

I am a married mother of 4, I have decided to go college. My Stafford Loan only pays for my tuition, my Pell Grant is not guaranteed. I cannot afford my books or other related expenses, due to my husband being the only one working at this time. With the cost of living today and providing adequately for 4 children money is extremely tight. I am asking for help with my books and other related expenses.

Financial help wherever possible

I am a graduate from Jefferson High School in Indiana. I am willing to send out as many applications it takes to reach success! I define success as making short goals for your self to reach that one long term goal you so dearly strive for. Doing whatever it takes, and as you can see this is one short term goal that I am willing to make to become well educated, and understand the real world for what it is. If anyone out there can help me please do. My email address is geo42385@hotmail.com thanks

Young Professional Seeks Financial Aid For Higher Education Goals

Young professional looking for aid to accomodate graduate school costs; As one of many recent college graduates having to settle employment, I am currently in the process of futhering my education. I have recently been accepted into an MBA program concentrating in Human Resource Management. Due to a lack of funds from my employer, I am seeking financial help. While still paying off my current loans from my undergraduate degree, a federal grant will more than significantly help me with my current educational costs.

Help I want to go back to school

Hi
I am a 35 year old woman that has been trying to get my life straight, and go back to school.  I attended college for the first time in 1988 (after having a very turbulent academic career in high school) I found myself and started to grow as an artist as well as a scholar.  I had to leave school because of financial reasons, I just could not afford it.  My parents were having there own financial woes and were unable to help me.  Unfortunately, for the past 17 years have been filled with long hard work and lousy wages.  I could barely pay bills let alone pay off a student loan and school too.  Well here I am taking a step out on faith, hoping that there is someone who is blessed to be a blessing and will loan or preferable grant me the money to pay back the loan and go back to school.

Aid For Education

     To whom it may concern,

     I am writing this letter, because I need help.  I have applied to an online university, and am unable to fund the education.  I am requesting more information on grants, so that I may be able to make this happen.

     I am a single father, and work a full time job.  I work approx. 60 hrs. a week and want to change.  I am trying to further my education.  I also wish to be able to provide my family better.  I feel that an education will open more options for that to happen.  Iam in need of assistance. Please help!

Photographic Student in need of Grants

To whom it may concern,

I am a photography student with very little income. I rent a room at home where I help my mom, who is a single parent of 6, take care of the family. My mother homeschools everyone but me and my brother Robert, who are now college age. She works three jobs. I work 40 hours a week and go to community college during the week. I have been accepted to Hallmark Institute of Photography and have not the money to get in. It cost about $47,000. I have already requested a Pell Grant and do not wish to take out loans. Debt is a horrible ruin to most people and I do not want that.

college grad seeks assistance to start post grad life

I recently graduated after five years of college at a state university.  In order to attend school, I had to apply for student loans.  Now that I have graduated, I am facing the upcoming date at which I must begin to pay back those loans.  With today's economy, it is very dificult to find a job.  I am seeking help to pay off my loans so that once I do find a career, I will be able to save towards my future without worrying about my student loans.

pre-service teacher training

I am a professional college educator who trains pre-service teachers in a small, rural, Hispanic-serving institution of higher education in Texas. Most of our students are from low-income families with limited access to technology. We need to upgrade our technology program to keep pace with NCLB, national and state standards.

Our education computer lab is only two or three years old, but by the time I find and implement additional funding to help upgrade it, our equipment may be out of date. Our funding is very limited for anything but basic needs, and the funds for the next few years are non-existent for our particular department--especially with respect to teacher-training in technology.

Our school is the main source of new teachers for a vast remote area of West Texas. The nearest four-year university from us is at least 150 miles in any direction. Many of our students come from remote border towns along  the Mexican border. Many students of the public school population these teachers will eventually serve in the classroom could be classified as at-risk. 

We have a small, but dedicated, faculty and great students. They deserve the best we can provide for them.

 

Aid for college`

I need help finding aid from the government for college because I have a newborn.

GRANTS OR SCHOLARSHIP TO PAY FOR MY EDUCATION

I AM SEEKING A GRANT OR SCHOLARSHIP TO PAY FOR THE EDUCATIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MY RETURNING TO COLLEGE TO BECOME A TEACHER. I HAVE WORKED FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION FOR 7 YEARS AS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A DESIRE IN MY HEART TO GO TO COLLEGE IN ORDER TO BECOME A TEACHER.

I TRULY FEEL THAT I CAN MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN THAT I TEACH. I HAVE WITNESSED FIRST HAND, WORKING WITH THE DEPT OF CORRECTION WHAT HAPPENS TO CHILDREN WHO DONT GET MOTIVATED AND ENCOURAGED IN THEIR CHILDHOOD; I HAVE LEARNED THAT THOSE KIDS BECOME ADULTS WHO END UP MAKING DECISIONS THAT USUALLY RESULT IN DEATH OR INCARCERATION. I FEEL THAT WITH THIS KNOWLEGE INSTILLED IN ME I CAN BE THAT POSITIVE ROLE MODEL THAT SO MANY CHILDREN NEED AND DESIRE, AND IF I CAN PREVENT ONE PERSON FROM MAKING A WRONG DECISION THAT WILL DESTROY THEIR LIFE THEN I HAVE FOUND SUCCESS.

I DONT HAVE MANY NEEDS REGARDING EDUCATIONAL WISE, I COULD USE THE EXTRA MONEY TO PAY FOR MY SCHOOLING, AND I COULD ALSO AFFORD TO PAY MY BILLS SO THAT I CAN WORK LESS AND PAY MORE ATTENTION TO MY EDUATION.  

Scholarship or Grant Funds for Master's Degree in Reading Education

I am seeking information about scholarship or grant money so I can finally finish my Master's Degree.  I began my quest for a Master's Degree during the summer of 1985.  I completed 12 hours that summer, but was unable to resume classes the following year.  My husband had not finished his undergraduate degree, so it was his turn.  Since that time, I have been the trailing spouse.  I've taken other courses, from other universities, but my husband has taken other job transfers.  Now I find myself  middle-aged,with 21 years of teaching experience, but 24 hours of graduate work that no longer count toward anything. As required with my Kentucky Teacher's Licsence, I must complete a Master's Degree. I have begun work on my degree in Reading from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky.  I am looking for any possible funds to allow me to complete my degree before my son begins college in the fall of 2008.

My Reasons For Returning To School After 11 Years

      My main objective for continuing my education is to be able to counsel children and adults in three basic fields. The first being children and adults with ADD/ADHD and learning disabilities. I want to help them overcome their disability, boost their self-esteem, and give them a better sense of well being. The second is for counseling children and adults of separated/ divorced families to help them as parents be better more effective parents without intentionally placing their children in the middle of their indifferences. The third is aimed toward people with chronic pain. Using a non-drug enhanced pain relief by showing them how they can adjust their way of thinking therefore better dealing with their pain.      
 My concerns in regards to my three objectives are, firstly, there are quite a few children with learning disabilities that go undetected and untreated due to the fact that teachers and parents don’t know or don’t see the early warning signs that the child has. As a parent of a late diagnosed child, I know first hand how children get pushed along within the school system because teachers and myself as a parent didn’t differentiate the difference of struggling in school and actually have a diagnosed learning disability. Secondly, as a child of divorced parents and a divorced parent myself, I have seen how a parent or parents inhibit the action of placing their children against the other parent and how parents use their children as a playing piece against the other parent to intentionally hurt and/or manipulate them. Children shouldn’t be used as a object since their lives are already disrupted due to the separation or divorce. If a councilor was able to assist these families or just the children it could greatly cut down on the push me/ pull me lives that many children have. Lastly, as a person who suffers from chronic pain, I have had to endure many prescription drugs that just mask the pain or that don’t work at all. If given the opportunity to use a technique like this to help assist with the pain and try to overcome the chronic condition that I endure daily, I would be elated to do so. There are many people whom live with chronic pain that could greatly benefit from this.
 Some important activities that I participate in are Star Catchers ( a reading program at my children’s elementary school) and Girl Scouts ( I have been my two daughter’s Girl Scout leader for four years now). An important development in my life is after being out of high school for eleven years I am willing and trying to go back to college to better educate myself and provide a better future for my 5 children.
 My favorite authors and books range from Stephen King, “Tommy Knockers”, to Nicholas Sparks, “A Walk To Remember”. Stephen King‘s, “Tommy Knockers”, I like because of the suspense. He really makes you think about what is going to happen and to whom it is going to happen to. “Tommy Knockers” makes you really think about touching things that don’t belong to you and just how severe the consequences can be if you do. Nicholas Spark‘s, “A Walk To Remember” it shows you that when you love with all your heart, mind, body, and soul and you find that one special person in with whom you can have that, you are happy for all eternity.
 I have chose the Virtual (online) residency because I am a mother of 5 children and I feel that if I am not readily available to them before school, after school, and in the evening to help them with homework, discuss their day, and tuck them into bed then I have not fulfilled my motherly duties to them. My youngest child is just a year old and I feel that my place is home with him, not with him in daycare all day. With virtual residency I am able to be home with my children and still work on my degree in psychology.
