What are my financial options if I have in excess of 90 credits at community college?
Question:
Shorten life story: I have no children and currently not working at this time. I am attending local Community College, had my credits audited and able to graduate while waiting for spot in the Nursing program (a.s. degree).
I don't have the money, spouse or parental financial support to attend 4yr school ( get student loans exceding 25k over 2 semesters)!
Total credits earned 73: attempted 80cr, was told by financial aid office I will max out at 90 credits= no more aid.
This program, I need to complete 6 nursing classes totaling less than 30 credits for A.S. degree Nursing.
Where do I begin mining for scholarships or avenues for funds to attend and complete my education?
Answer:
If you haven't applied through FAFSA already, you needs to.

You can also use google.

You can also try and write letters to local businesses. I have a formula on how to do this. Please email me if you'd like it.

To get more information go to your college financial aid office and ask to see a financial aid counselor.
You should start with your financial aid office at school. They usually have a list of scholarships and grants you may be elgible for and I wish you the best of luck.
