You may be eligible for a scholarship
A *scholarship is an amount of money or credit (ranging from a few hundred dollars to many thousands) awarded to a student to aid in the pursuit of studies. There are several types of scholarships, but primarily they are either:
Need-based--awarded only to those who need financial aid.
Merit--awarded on the basis of some other *criteria, regardless of need.
Most schools of higher education, including online schools, offer scholarships of one or both types. In addition, there are hundreds of private scholarships available, but you have to seek them out. One excellent *reference available at many public libraries--is the annual “Scholarship Handbook“, published by the College Board (a not-for-profit association composed of over 5,000 schools of various types). Here are their categories of scholarships:
Corporate/Employer--offered to employees and/or their families.
Disabilities--for students with specified disabilities.
Field of Study/Intended Career--for students taking specified programs.
Gender--exclusively for women or exclusively for men.
International Students--for students from outside the United States.
Military Participation--for military veterans and/or their relatives.
