Free Financial Today

A few years ago I decided to try to get financial aid so I could finish my education. I applied and I got a pell grant! At the time I was alone with my 2 oldest kids. Once the youngest started kinder garden I figured it was time to make an example of myself and finish!

I searched the Internet for a Pell grant and how to apply. I was surprised at how easy it was, I applied on line, for free and the school received the grant directly. I signed up for 4 classes at a community college. The grant that I received was enough to cover my class cost, my books, and I had plenty left over to help with covering some child care for my kids so I could have extra study time.

After that first semester back at school I got married and shortly after had 3 more children! So needless to say I didn’t go any more, I only attended that one semester. Talk about life happening! Here I sit 8 years later considering going back again. My youngest is only 2 so I really don’t want to have to leave him ever day to go to class. I did a looking on line snooping around and found out that I can take video courses from home from the very same school I was going to before!

Now isn’t that good news? I wont have to worry about finding an accredited school that operates on line. You read me right, I can go to the same local school and take on line video courses from home. This is great! I can be with my kids, whenever I want and I can do my classes after bed time or during nap time! Everything is online. There are discussion boards to communicate with your teacher and classmates and a website to get your tasks on. I may have to go to the campus once or twice, but thats it. Everything else is at home. What is even better is that the pell grant will cover the video classes too, just the same as regular online classes.

You want some advice? If you are contemplating finishing school there is no reason to wait until until your kids are in school. You should go ahead and call around and see if they have the same video course classes as they do on campus classes. To my understanding the credits are the same, the only difference is you don’t pay for gas to go and you can stay at home with your kids to do the classes!

When my little man starts his journey in kindergarten, I won’t be saying now that he’s in school I can finish mine. Instead when he starts school I’ll be starting to look for a job because I will have have earned my degree, and I will be able to use a pell grant to help me achieve this!

All but one of my 5 children are in school. You can find somefree grant information about getting a federal grant to cover my expenses to finish school. Anyone can, look here for information today!
