Maggie,\n\nThe short answer is that there are a few scholarships.  Your experience as a diabetic may help you get into some careers where there are more scholarships and tuition reimbursement related to your career. \n\nThe long answer is:  I liked your question so much that I blogged on it at http://www.mydiabetesinformation.com.  \n\nAnother quote:\n\nFrom the journal "Diabetes Care,":\n\nIt behooves\nthe student to contact local resources and\ntheir educational institution to see\nwhether any scholarship money might be\navailable to them. At times, a benefactor\nmay set up a scholarship fund at a college\nor in a local community for someone with\na specific diagnosis such as diabetes.\nThese scholarships may not be advertised\nand may go unused during the years that\nno one applies for them.\n\nHere is a narrow niche, if you play tennis competitively: http://www.wtt.com/charities/default.asp\n\nMaybe you could learn really fast!\n\nSeriously, I like the first suggestion better.  If you do some scholarship searches, you may find a scholarship for students with diabetes.  \n\nThanks for the blog idea.  \n\nMatt

Stipends are usually awarded to students that work in a specific office on campus. You can take a look at www.finaid.org for tons of information on scholarships and grants and also talk to the financial aid office of the school you are interested in attending. Good news, there are scholarships out there specifically designed for single mothers that are looking to return to school. Some even pay for childcare. Just continue to keep researching the net and talk to the staff at the university and you should be able to find it. Hope that helps and I am proud of you!

You can get a grant or a scholarship by filling out the FAFSA form.  There are grants and scholarships for non-conventional students.  Such as those who have taken time off to work or raise children.  \n\nYou can fill out the FAFSA form online but I currently do not have the web address, however know that when you do fill it out. you'll need tax information and such.  Scholarships are generally given out based on need.\n\nGood luck!

Two things come to mind here.  First, specific schools often have "local" scholarships which are available to specific categories of students.  Sometimes these relate to field of study; sometimes they relate to some aspect of the student--ethnicity, sex, birthplace/hometown; sometimes they are based on need.\n\nThe second possibility, if you are in the U.S., is with the Bureau of Health Professions (of the Health Resources and Services Administration, within the Department of Health and Human Services).  At the link below, you will find that they sponsor grant programs, as well as loan repayment programs.

Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2004_2005/english/types.htm , you may want to explore private foundation grants\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

Just check the nursing school and you also can probably get a regular school loan

It could be. However, nursing is one of the professional fields with loads of scholarships and financial aid available due to the nursing shortage. If anything, most community colleges offer a nursing program, and it can cut down on how much the tuition is and complete the program in two years. I will provide several sources where you can locate financial aid.\n\nFirst, file for FAFSA.ed.gov because it will help you tap into both federal and college need based financial aid.\n\nSecond, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for your state's college grant program. 35 states has a website devoted to applying for state college financial aid and applications. If this method fails, search your state government's website for nursing scholarship or grant.\n\nThird, I have listed some nursing scholarship organizations.\n\nFourth, check with your college's financial aid website and the nursing department's website because they often list available scholarships from outside organizations and companies.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. I recommend joining several of them. I recommend applying to as many as you qualify for since the more money you get in scholarships and grants, the less you will have in loans.\n\nGood luck!
