two ways that i know of. first your female and that helps a lot. you're not looking for loans you're looking for scholrships or grants and there are many available to you. ask the college to which you want to apply. you can also get pell grants. none specific grants to any particular college. the other option is the military. you can either promise service after graduation and go in as an officer say with the navy as a jag (judge advocate general) officer or go now as an officer involved with military police or a jag associate officer. then they'll pay you later or let you go to school at the same time.\nremember, you have a useful degree already and the services want  you as officer already. you may like it a lot and decide that that's enough and not bother with more school but it will be made available to you anyway. maybe you'll even get to humiliate some arab prisoners right away. or at least be in charge of those that do. no just kidding. go navy. it's clean. no dirt, sand or swamps. just nice clean white bright uniforms with gold on your shoulders and hat and thousands of big bad men that have to salute and respect you.

you still have the opportunity. make sure that you fill out the FAFSA form for federal aid, that will tell you how much government aid you qualify for, and loans, etc, etc. \n\nand... you should look for scholarships from both the school you wish to attend, and online. there are a multitude of scholarships available for very unique circumstances, i'm sure there are some for "non-traditional" students, and anything else you can imagine. i know there's one for sure if you're left handed. do a search on yahoo or something for "scholarship websites"\n\ngood for you for wanting to continue your education

Probably the best is to contact the school. Some schools have scholarships that are given based on needs. Please specify where you live so people can give you specific advice.

Dont be intimidated, apply to better schools that you think you would like to be at. Think about where you want to be in a year...in three years. \n\nYou can put off student loans as long as you need to. My best advice is to go to a better school and call the office of financial aid for that school, they will help you and make things a lot easier so you will have more power over making the decisions.\n\nCommunity college sucks, I wouldn't recommend staying there, start applying to better schools immediately and drop out of any classes you think you might fail because those classes will stay on your record and that won't help you if you're trying to go anywhere good.

If no scholarships available think of where you can cut down expenses in your budget. Take lunches to work, bring your own coffee and snacks instead of buying them, rent movies instead of going to the movies, cook more at home instead of going through that drive up window...maybe see if there is work available at the school that can be done in exchange for all or part of the tuition.  Just look everything over ....  :o)

Did you do the FAFSA form.  I am kind of in the same boat.  I didn't go to school and I worked instead.  Now my FAFSA info will be based on my income of 20,000 even though if i go to school full-time I won't be making any money.  We should keep in touch and encourage each other.  I hate feeling like I have an "impossibbility complex" over something as simple as going to school.  If you can work out something to get through your first year, you will be eligible next year.  Take student loans, it should be worth it.  If you click my name, there is a link on my profile to send me an email.  Feel free!

Don't go to law school.  It is a waste of time, and it will be a living Hell waiting to find out if you passed the bar or not.  Mark my words.\n\nTHE ANSWER BELOW IS COMPLETE BS.  I'M SURE THEY "WAIVE TUITION FEES" IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN 60K.

Try this:\n\nPrivate people lending money for just about anything.  They bid the rates down and your rate is based on your story and your ability to pay back.\n\nOf course if it is for school, why not a student loan?

You can apply for stafford loans or private loans within your school.. go to the Financial Aid office and they should be able to help you out.

Try taking the ACT or SAT.  If you score high, you may be eligible for some scholarships, depending on how high.\n\nAlso, many who do not qualify for Pell Grants still can get student loans, which do not need to be paid back as long as you are in school at least half time (6 semester hours).\n\nDid you go to the FAFSA website and apply for federal aid yet?  If not, do that first.

You are SOL buddy.  Why don't you just go back to school and apply for financial aid.  Start off at a community college and go from there.  Take your basics and some remedial classes.  there is nothing wrong with that and it will help you with your other studies, trust me.  You still have plenty of opportunity and I suggest you take advantage of it and get a small part time job while going to school.  You can live in a dorm and get a dorm scholarship to pay for it.  You have options.  Don't blow it.

Firstly do not think scholarship when talking about graduate school.  Think of teaching, resident and research assistantships.  Schools often waive tuition for graduate students in competitive programs.  There are scholarships and you can look into them.....but they are exceptionally competitive.  If you have high marks and or research related endevors....then apply for recruitment scholarships.  Contact the financial aid office and graduate student office about funding possibilities. Try to find a mentor if you are in a research program....and try to get them to take you as a graduate student.  My mentor will provide all my costs and travel costs once per year.  But apply for graduate assistantships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships or resident assistantships where applicable.

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

Talk to Tulane's financial aid officers. I assume by you signing yourself Tulane that you are going to Tulane.\nThey will help you find any kind of student aid, grants, scholarships, loans you can qualify for. \nDON'T GIVE UP KEEP DIGGING!!! PESTER THE HELL OUT OF THEM UNTIL THEY FIND SOMETHING FOR YOU!!\nBut if all else fails student loans are guaranteed by the Federal Government and all you have to do is be 18 or older in most cases to get it.

You can do it several ways.\nStudent loans.\nScholarships.\nRegular loan from a bank.\nLoan from your relatives.\nMilitary scholarship(You have to promise to serve in the military after your residency for a certain amount of time. I think it's less than 4 years.)\n"Under-served" area scholarship.(You promise to practice again for a certain numbers of years in an area where there's shortage of doctors-which at this time and for a foreseeable future, just about everywhere!!) There's national shortage of doctors now.\n\nUnless you are super smart and don't have to sleep but couple hours a day, you could have a part time job. But advise against this\n\nI went to medical school free because my father is a disabled veteran and got a child for disabled veterans scholarship. You can only use it 4 years and I didn't waste it on college. \n\nIt's kind of sad but most medical school graduate has about 60,000-120,000 debt.\n\nBut they predict huge shortages of doctors for a long time. So it's an excellent field to go into.\n\nWith the money you'll make ,if you really tighten your belt for 2-3 years you can easily pay off $120,000.\n\nRight now the smallest bonus just to go to a practice or hospital is $20,000.  And for some specialists they can get as much as $80,000 bonus.\n\nGood luck.

Apply for a GRANT that does NOT have to be paid back. I am really sorry you chose a military school as I do NOT believe in them..but it's your choice. Find a grant writer at the closest university. they should be able to help you fit into the demographics, so my opinion goes by the wayside here, this is the truth that i know and i would NEVER stand in the way of anyone's education. GET A GRANT....ONE THAT IS A SCHOLARSHIP...not based upon grades but on income or lack of it and direction and intent.\nThanks\nLioncourt
