Since OP already has a bachelor's degree the Pell Grant is not going to be available. This is a big deal. There are still other grants, and loans thru FAFSA have the lowest rates, and some hospital jobs (VA) will pay back the loans. The best places to look for finance options are Fafsa and your school's financial aid office. Good Luck, and apply early.

Ahhhhhhhh, totally forgot about that - that was the reason I wasn't finishing a bachelor's degree at my current school - to continue to receive the pell grant.
What about federal loans?

I was wondering if anyone knows of an tuition assistance, scholarships, special grants, reimbursements, anything to help pay for my LPN starting in January.
I currently work as a CNA in a hospital in Florida. The money I make at this job is barely covering my bills and I have had to pick up 2 extra jobs just to get by. I have been trying to save as much as I can but with rent, car payments, insurance, phone, gas, groceries, and school loans from my first Bachelors degree it's not looking too promising. I got into a LPN program at a local community college (cheaper tuition), starting in January. And I know once that starts I won't be able to juggle all 3 jobs and that extra $$ to help with tuition will be gone. My pay will increase, but only by about a dollar and my hospital will reimburse me only $1000 because it is a LPN program not an RN program. This means I will need help covering the other $4000. On my hospital income there is no way I will be able to pay for all that!
I'm in a bit of a panic! So much so, I have seriously considered learning to dance by a pole!!! I didn't know if anyone knew of any help for someone with a Bachelor's degree, working as a CNA, and with a low income... PLEASE HELP! I have gone to my school website and looked up the scholarships from financial aid, unfortunately my Bachelor's tends to get in the way. I will not receive FAFSA, or any other similar assistance. I am kind of dependent on scholarships and hopes of a tax return.
Any advice helps! Thanks
