Overcoming the expenses of college to get you in the classroom
October 31, 2011
If you're a mother who is working multiple jobs to make ends meet, you're probably thinking that there has to be another way to reach your bottom line. If you put your career aspirations on the shelf when you had children, now that they're a bit older, it's the ideal time to get back in the classroom.
Higher education is an investment in your future and your family's lives, but the process leading up to when you set foot on campus is an arduous one. First and foremost, you'll need to declare a major - it's much easier to complete your credits on time when you can get your requirements out of the way.
Looking into the many financial aid opportunities is another major aspect of the application process. College scholarships and grants are fabulous options that won't need to be paid back, and student loans are also available to help fill in the gaps.
It's never too late to head back to college, and there are more options than ever to allow you to be a good student and an even better mother at the same time.
