Specializes in Geriatrics.

Your best bet is to check with the financial advisor at the school you would like to go to. I got 2 govt grants that totaled around $2500, and a $500 scholarship plus a $75 scholarship. I don't think being a male would matter either way. Good Luck!!:)

thanks for responding, well see i talked to the financial aid counselor and all she knew of was the FAFSA and the stafford loan, which i really didnt want to do and with school so close, Jan 17th, i just wanted to make the money was there. this gvt grant that you got was it like a pell grant, cause i got that one, but i need more, i just dont want to have to worry about trying to pay back a loan, you know?

I got a state scholarship which paid tuition and book money. I had to agree to work within the state for the amt of years I took the money, but it was worth it. Maybe your state has something similar.

I believe that if you do a more general search you will do better at finding money. Lunch-Money.com would be one site. BHPR or GSA, both government sites, could help as well. Do you know how to balance 24 chairs on your chin, speak Klingon, or any other peculiar thing? AOL has an article (archived from last year) about particular "hobbies" for $500. Have you written any essays? Let me confide in everyone here- We all forget to go for those because we think we won't get them...THe ability of a good writer and a bad writer is to make an cogent argument, even if it isn't your opinion.
