Education Degree Help

Unfortunately, Pell Grants do not exist once someone graduates with their first Bachelor’s degree. There are scholarships out there, but they are limited in number. There is the possibility of a Graduate Assistant or Research Assistant positions, but I have not seen any of them related to someone taking courses online. I will list some free resources to locate money for college.

First, the college’s financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major’s website will list scholarships, too.

Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Third, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 for the upcoming fall semester after you apply for graduate school. It will qualify for need based financial aid from the school itself.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!
