WOOHOO $$ for School!!

Published

:balloons: Break out the wine and cut the cheese! I have been getting very frustrated trying to finance my education without putting my family in hawk up to our eyeballs. Having a 4.0 doesn't help much in getting scholarships if you don't fall into their financial need guidelines, so the only one I've gotten pays for $500 for two semesters - drop in the bucket. I just got a phone call back from the State for an education assistance program - they're paying all my tuition, books, and will even help with daycare!!!! The weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders! There will be some daycare expenses I need to pay, but this sure helps! :balloons:

:balloons: Congratulations! :balloons: I can imagine that's a huge weight lifted off your shoulders!

I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but where do you get a scholarship or assistance like that?

Thanks! :D

It's actually a federal program administered by the state, so you might look into it within your state government. It's called something like the Workforce Reinvestment Act; basically if you're unemployed, you qualify.
