Single Mothers, I know what you�re going through. It is tough being a single mother and to go to college is even tougher. How can a single mother raise her children and at the same time attend college. Sometime financial aid is not enough to cover tuition fees and sometime financial aid is not enough to pay for books for class. It is a never ending journey and it gets tougher as the class progress. What make it worse is that some students are bright but cannot afford tuition. It is possible to become a nurse, a school counselor or even a teacher. As long the right steps are taken. The first step is to decide which school you decide to go. To curb cost, students should first attend a community college since tuition is cheaper and student can save more money in the long run. This is only temporary is generally is the first two years. The first two years is completing your general education courses. After that you can decide what major you decide to choose.
Now, once you have completed your general education courses, decide which four college you want to attend. You can either attend a private college or a public university. Generally, a private college more expensive and tuition is much more. There is a website called fastweb and is a good website to find scholarship. First, sign up for an account and look for scholarship in your field. For example, if you are a nursing student, look for scholarship for nursing. Generally, a student must apply for scholarship ahead of time and before attending the school. The process can take months, so in the mean time, plan ahead.
There are many good scholarships to apply for. For instance, students can apply for women�s, minorities, or low income scholarship. These are much simpler to get and qualify for. Usually, a grade point average of 2.5 and above is sufficient enough to qualify for. To learn more about grants and scholarship please visit the link below.
