Do anyone have any information on scholarship, grants, or living allowance. I want to focus on school and not work full-time. Any suggestions??? Thanks

I see you are in MD, check out MHEC. You can get upto 19k a year. There also is HRSA, but I am not sure that is an option since you have a family. Other than that the pickings are pretty slim for Merit based Nursing Scholarships, at least I havent been able to find much in the last few weeks...
Noticed that you are just talking about pre-nursing. IMO it will be harder for you to get scholarships and the like for pre-reqs as you havent really proven yourself yet. But not to worry. You will be able to focus on the pre-reqs while also working. The pre-reqs aren't that bad, just start slow and ramp on up.

I got a federal pell grant and some other financial assistance from my college, which paid my 1st year in full. I attand a SUNY college, so tuition is not that high. Visit the financial aid office at your school, they might be able to help you out. Good luck.

You can try the No worker left behind program, since your not working.
They give $5,000 a year for up to two years of college.
