I'm not sure where to get a grant ,but you can go to Prosper.com which is a Peer to Peer loan group. You can slowly pay back the loan at a certain interest rate while you go to school.

if you live in england you should pick up forms from the education department of your local council offices.The local education authority tends to be the organisation that pays.\nif you are from the eu,you should contact the institution you are training with as you are eligible.\nyou may also be eligible for a maintanance grant so be sure to ask about it or check out\n www.dfes.gov.uk/studentsupport\nhttp://www.gttr.ac.uk/teach/england.html

Sorry about your job loss. But congratulations on your decision to go back to school! \n\nI got laid off last year due to the global economy and as a result was qualified for Federal retraining dollars. So, check with your state employment/unemployment department to see if you might qualify for worker retraining funds. That's a starting point.\n\nNext, check with your local community college since they usually get the state and federal funds for worker retraining. They may have other funds... and don't discount the community college programs, they could get you into the career of your dreams that don't require a 4 year degree (a friend of mine who also got laid off is getting retrained as a video technician and is loving it after 30 years in high tech as an engineer). \n\nFinally, be careful about these online "universities" many are unscrupulous and are in business to get financial aid from the government by enrolling bodies. Make sure the school is fully accredited by the same body that certifies your major state universities.  I teach for the leader in this field (they are based in AZ) and feel they do a really good job supporting the students they admit and provide good counseling and career advice, especially for older students.  But also check your local state university since they may have scholrship $$ for "non-traditional (18-20 year olds) students. I dontae $$ each year to such at fund at the school I got my MBA from. \n\nbest wishes for every success in your new career!\n\n(PS I decided to become a high school teacher and am really enjoying it).

If you've been laid off or qualify for unemployment, you may qualify for "job retraining" at a local community college or public voc-tech school, and these may offer paralegal training.\n\nThe best paralegal training you can get is on the job. See if there's a firm in your area who needs an extra hand, and let them know you want a career in the paralegal field - it may be worth their investment to get you started.

You should pick a school first.  Then apply for Federal Aid (through school or on internet).  You can also ask for Loan info.  These loans have to be paid back, but not till after you graduate.  Don't take out a loan if you don't have to.  There are always state grants that you can apply for and scholarships that you can get.  I would talk to a finical aid adviser at the school that you are accepted to attend at.  It is also cheaper to go to a two year or community college to get most of you basic classes out of the way.  You really need to check if the classes you are taking at these schools will transfer to a four year college before you take them, because you don't want to waste your time and have to take them over again at the more expensive school.  Also try to take only classes that you need, but sometimes give yourself a brake by taking a class that you think is fun.  It is worth it.  \nI hope you get back to school it is the best thing that I ever did.

Probably.  check with your local employement office to see if they offer vocational retraining grants.  Also call the hospitals and see if they know of anything.  With the critical shortage, I'm sure their is money, you just have to find it.\n\nThere are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/lion's club etc. \n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Try the bar association..  If all  else fails trying calling around to the Larger Law Firms in your area...  They do work for unfortunates from time to time..  the case to them can be a tax write off and it gives them that warm fuzzy feeling for helping someone less fortunate.   It worked for me

Freecycle sites are a place to start and also check with AARP in your town/city, call the colleges or tech institutes and see if they have programs that might help.  In my town the tech schools will help with supplies if you qualify and they have lots of different programs. \nCall the disability office and ask about retraining programs. They would like for you to get back in the work force.

Have you tried to see about small business grants.  Just type women small business grant and choose one and fill out some information and they will email you back to order a CD or e-book and of course you will have to pay a fee or just the shipping and handling or even go to a half off book store & see and read on how you can get a grant. This what I am trying to do. Also, Go online to........ check them out.  Good Luck! I hope this will help.

If the school is accredited, you should apply to FAFSA, and it will provide need based financial aid. Also, you should check with your state government's website for grants. If it fails, go to Sallie Mae for a student loan. Good luck!
