There are scholarships and grants specifically for what are called "non-traditional students." These are students who took time off school to raise a family, etc. Try going to your college's scholarship office and ask them to see if any of those are available...check for other scholarships available while you're there. Also, fill out a FAFSA form, they're online!

First, you need to fill out the FAFSA(Free Application for Student Aid), you get fill this out online at www.fafsa.ed.gov, pick up an application from your high school counselor office or the college's financial aid office. This will be the application any government grants, college grants and scholarships, and federal loan programs. After you do that, you may opt to search for additional scholarships on websites like www.fastweb.com, there are more sites like this as well, you can access them from www.finaid.org/scholarships. You can also check with the school's financial aid office for any endowed scholarships they might offer. Your third and last alternative is private loans which gain interest on them while you're in school. There are plenty of banks and companies that offer student loans. My personal favorite is Citiassist found at www.citiassist.com. For these loans you must have a co-signer if you are not credit worthy. I hope this information is of some use to you! Good luck!

I know that our college offers special funds for "displaced homemakers".. or women who have been out of the work force or school and then are returning to further their education..

How about operating finished-time and going to varsity area-time, with help out of your organization. there are a form of businesses that furnish practise assistance to their workers. I had a job that paid one hundred% of my practise in change for the dedication of staying with the business enterprise for a minimum of one 365 days. no longer a foul deal in any respect. even as no longer all of us delivers finished compensation, it is properly worth searching for a job that has an similar benefit. good success!

To date I haven't received any applications, and I don't want the money to go unused, so give it a try.
