Hello, I have a Bachelors in Business and am very disheartened by the corporate world, and absolutely hate it!! I was thinking about going back for a Masters in Education (teaching), but wanted to know where to go to begin looking for financial aid (since I'm already broke from the bachelors and loans), and just some thoughts in general about making such a huge career transition. Please help!! I am 24.

Depending on what you want to teach, there are some loan forgiveness programs and tuition reimbursement programs if you are going into a "critical shortage" area to teach. Check with the website of your state, the Department of Education for more info on what is available in your state. Also try:
There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.
Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.
Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Actually the reply to that is now sure, as of 2014. I am in a an identical quandary. Financial support is to be had for submit-baccalaureate CPA prep techniques, that is virtually what you wish to have besides. This wasn't regularly the case, however it looks to be so now. Also, a few MAcc or MS Accounting techniques will take delivery of pupils with out all the must haves in accounting and make the necessities aspect of the graduate software. You must assess the techniques separately. As of this Fall, the University of Connecticut has a "bridge" software that is a web based graduate certificates that supplies the in line with-necessities for his or her MAcc software. There are different techniques like this to be had in other places. Good good fortune!
