Out here in Cali we have something called "Workforce Partnership" through "America's Job Center." They'll pay up to $5,000 toward tuition for courses at a bunch of different colleges in the area. That's often more than enough to pay for some short certificate programs in a lot of different areas.

See if you can find something like that for your area. Call your local unemployment office and ask, or check your state's government site. If nothing else, there's always the Pell Grant if you don't already have a degree. (I think the Pell is for undergrads only, if I'm not mistaken.)

I'm not against educating prisoners if it can teach them work skills and keep them out of prison. Seems like a very good idea to me. But everyone else should be offered the same assistance.

I know... - what is stopping

you from getting a Pell grant or other aid?

More overwhelming of the system. I'd rather give that money to - veterans. This is being done w/o Congress

approval. Do we even need Congress anymore?

Anyone Successful Going Back To College, Need Some Financial AdviceFeb 04, 2012
I am 39 years old wanting to go back to college to become an RN.  I will start out for the first 2 years at the community college to finish those basic courses I didn't do 20 years ago.  When I went to school back right after high school my parents dealt with the financial aid.  Now that I am looking at it there are so many resources apparently out there to help find grant money and scholarships, but I'm getting nowhere, and more confused.  FIRST QUESTION:  I ...

Extreme Fatigue, Tingling In Back, Back Pain Mar 05, 2013
I know it is the most common complaint doctors hear - and for years I have had the stressed-tired-overworked fatigue - I know how that one feels.  But this has been going on a couple of months.  I am bone tired even after I sleep a lot.  My blood work showed I am hypothyroid so I started on medicine and also some supplements for that.  But nothing seems to be helping.  I have pain/fatigue across the area of my back right at the braline.  My arms and neck feel heavy. ...

Abortion. Can We Really Afford To Be Wrong?Sep 05, 2012
My personal journey to an answer for this difficult question has been neither one of religious discovery nor a form of moral evolution.  It is this conclusion--which, while difficult to come to for me personally as a former pro-choice advocate, has been as inescapable as it has been wrenching: It isn't necessary to argue religion.  It isn't necessary to examine moral systems of thought.  From a purely scientific and medical standpoint, there is absolutely no point in th ...

Americans Have Insurance But Can’t Afford To Use ItMar 13, 2015
Although more Americans have health insurance coverage, 25 percent of non-elderly Americans don’t have enough liquid assets to cover the deductible on their health insurance plan, according to a new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation.  The report finds that many consumers don’t have the cash on hand to cover the cost of a mid-range deductible or $1,200 for an individual or $2,400 per family. High deductible health plans require that consumers cover their health car ...

I signed both of my boys up today for classes at the community college.  Thank goodness I have a Pell grant for both of them that pays most of their tuition because books for 6 classes cost $800!!!!!  Yes I said 800, that was not a typo for only six classes.  Luckily, the 7th class my son already had the book from his previous calc class and they are using the same book this semester.  I could not believe that they told me that one of the books I could buy a new one for $157 ...

Paying For CollegeFeb 06, 2016
First, it would be means-tested.  No assistance would be offered to families who don't need it, and for those eligible for assistance, the amount would be based on the level of need.   Families at the poverty level would receive the greatest assistance and the amount would decrease as the family income level increases until hitting the "wealthy"cutoff of no assistance. Second, assistance would be based on the residual need AFTER taking into account scholarships or grants, if ...

Daughter Starting CollegeApr 27, 2013
Hello all - my daughter will be starting college in the fall and we are in the process of trying to find financial aid. Does anyone have info on how to get grants? Is there usually a family income max that would allow/disallow anyone from getting a grant? I know I will need to talk to the college's financial aid office but any info that can be passed along would be appreciated. We already completed the FAFSA and my daughter got a small loan through that, but she was not awarded any gran ...
