I am starting my school in a couple of weeks and though I got financial aid (Pell Grant), it doens't seem enough to cover additional expenses, as child care, for a whole semester. Does anyone know if there are additional scholarships (not loans) that I can apply for...or something that considers your high GPA?
Are all scholarships received though finacial aid office at school or we can apply separate?
I am not working an my husband doens't make enough money, so I don't know how can I deal with my 2 year old while in Nursing school.
Also, because the nursing school where I am studying has summer classes I would have to pay that from my own pocket, because the grant is only for 2 semesters. I am taking full time credits, because I am trying to take some prerequisites for BSN too.
So, please if anyone has an idea, let me know. I would appreciate that! Thanks.
Most everyone I have ever known has taken out loans, it'd be nice to not have to, but its a neccessity sometimes, and you don't make any payments until 6 months after you graduate, at which time you should be working.
Plus, I bet you'd qualify for subsidized loans, so thats a bonus.

This doesn't have to do with scholarships, but... a lot of states offer some form of child care assistance to lower-income families - have you checked into something like that maybe?
