Are there any scholarships for adult students?

I am non-traditional student. Can anyone give me possible links to scholarships for adult students?

• Scholarships for adult students, particularly women

• Answer:

  Check with your school's financial aid department. As a non-traditional student myself, I know my school offers scholarships for students who don't fit into the criteria of most scholarships, loans and grants. When I started grad school, I took out a Sallie Mae Signature Loan (it was one of the few options at the time!). It is the same as other student loans--you don't start paying it back until 6 months after graduation. If you have a full-time job, see if they offer any support for college students. Some companies do provide monetary assistance in these cases. Also check with local community services (community groups, religious organizations you may belong to) to see if they offer scholarships for non-traditional students. Good luck!
