College Loan Grants
Are there any program that will help one pay for college besides grants and loans?
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Information Systems. It is really hard to find a job in this field in this particular area and I don’t have the funds to relocate right now. I was thinking about going back to college to get a degree in nursing or education. I am unemployed right now and would definitely like to start college in the summer. If anyone have any solution to my problem please help me.
Your best option would be to try to get a Graduate Assistantship through your masters degree program.
Quite often when students come to earn an MA/MS or up to a PhD, the school will often hire you to teach 1 or 2 classes to undergraduates per semester. They will pay you a salary (small one) and waive your tuition.
I would definately ask the MA program you are interested in if there are any open Graduate Assistantship programs available, and what you have to do to get one.
other than that you can take courses part time, and work while taking classes. Most universities have payment plans for classes meaning you just need to make a monthly payment which is often easier than making one lump sum payment for your classes.
But your best bet if you don’t want loans is the GA position.
