How can I go back to college, but still be able to pay my mortgage?

Answer 1

This may or may not appeal to you but One Idea worth considering is: renting some of your bedrooms out to tenants while you lived there yourself. At least that should help some in terms of incomimg cash flow...

It would be nice if your skills & experience were worthy of being a consultant?

I wish I had pursued the opportunity but unfortunately I married too early after college and concentrated on work & satisfying my boss in terms of promotions etc.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

http://www.fafsa.gov

This web site is required by all students that want to gets loans, grants, or scholarships to pay for an education.

If your score on your fafsa is a 0, then you get the total amount of pell, which in the state of Missouri is $2,000 (per semester). So that would pay for all of your tuition. So all you need to do is maybe get a student loan for books, if you can't afford $500 for textbooks. Or, you can get textbooks cheaper on the Internet such as (http://www.half.com http://www.ebay.com http://www.amazon.com

Hope this helps you out. You have to fill out a FAFSA application to get any scholarship, loans, or pell. I think it is a safe guess that all students fills out the FAFSA, even though they don't get any pell, because either students gets loans or scholarships. All students receive some kind of payment to attend college.

If you attend a community college, and if you get the full amount on pell, then the pell will go further and may end up paying for books as well.

But in order to get the total amount on pell, your income must be below like $7,000 a year (in Missouri). If you have a few kids, you might be able to make $15,000 a year and still get the total amount of pell.
