Making your New Year’s resolution to go back to school a reality

December 28, 2011

As 2011 comes to a close, you may finally be ready to take the plunge and invest in a higher education. Thanks to single mother scholarships, you can find enough financial aid to make your dreams a reality.

Start looking for grants and college scholarships dedicated to supporting students pursuing a particular career or belonging to a particular demographic in January so you don't accidentally miss any deadlines.

Some colleges are still accepting students for the 2012-2013 school year, and if you think the time is right, you can go ahead and apply now so you can start your education next fall.

Whether you're going back to complete your bachelor's or pursuing a masters program so you can advance in your field, you should compile a list of potential scholarships and write an essay for each individual opportunity so it targets the specific goals of the program.

You should also consider whether you want to take classes on campus or online. Completing courses online can give you a bit more flexibility and make it possible for you to save on child care costs because you can watch the kids while learning via the internet.
