Pell Grant To Pay For School

I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a Pell Grant but they are amazing! I want to share with you my personal experience with this government grant and how it helped me pay for school. I had heard of these types of grants before and didn’t think much about them until my friend got one through the university he was attending. The money went to pay for his tuition and what was left over he got to keep! The best part was that he didn’t have to pay any of it back! It was like free money from the Federal Government! Thanks Uncle Sam! Well after hearing that I was definitely excited so I decided to look into it more.
After searching online a little bit I found some useful information on how this grant works. According to the U.S. Department of Education the Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain post baccalaureate students to promote access to post secondary education. There are about 5,400 different post secondary schools that accept this government grant so it’s not hard to find a college where you can apply for this grant. The amount of money you will get from the Federal Government depends on how much money your family is contributing towards your education, the cost of attendance, student’s enrollment status, and whether you attend for a full academic year or less. Oh and you can’t receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.
So I also found out how the money is actually dispersed or awarded. For the most part this government grant is for students who do not yet have their bachelor degree and is only for post-bachelor degrees if you are getting a teacher certification. So the participating school either credits the Federal Pell Grant money to the student’s school account, pays the student directly, or a combination of both of these options. Students must be paid at least once per term. How great does all that sound?
So now that I found out all the basic information that I needed I was ready to apply! I did some more searching on the internet and while looking for Pell Grants I also discovered that there were hundreds and hundreds of other grants that I might qualify for as well! Wow! It’s amazing what a little internet searching will do! I found one site that offers a free CD that lists tons of government grants such as grants for housing, grants for education, grants for starting your own business, grants for minorities and many more. They even help you with the application process. The site I found was http://www.grantgenerator.com, they are pretty cool if you ask me and they are definitely worth checking out.
So to make a long story short I applied for my Federal Pell Grant and easily qualified. I received the money I needed for tuition and even got a few hundred dollars back in cash! That money sure helped especially since I’m a starving student! All I have to say is thanks President Obama! Thanks for helping me get my education! It’s great to be a citizen in this great country, even if it is struggling there are still options out there to help people.

Grants available for Nursing

Grants for Nursing
I have come to the recent realization that most of the closest people in my life that I respect the most all seem to have one thing in common: they are all nurses!!! My Grandma (who is my hero in life), my mother-in-law, and my best friend are all nurses. So, I have an inherit soft spot in my heart for nursing programs and especially grants for nursing.
The weird thing is that not everyone shares that same respect, in fact nursing is probably one of the most under appreciated professions out there. It is also one of the professions that has the greatest demand and lowest supply out there. The question is why? Nurses have the ability to help save lives!!! I can think of few jobs that would be more fulfilling? It seems to be one of the better paying jobs out there as well. I guess the question is, How do you get to the point where it is a good paying job without the money to get yourself through school?
What so many people don’t understand is that there are government grants out there to help put people through nursing school! The Government gives out over two hundred government grants to nursing students a year. The nursing grant not only covers tuition and books, but also gives students enough money to live on, enabling them to concentrate on getting through school instead of having to work at the same time. That is Free Grant Money!
Why don’t more nursing students take advantage of this? Probably because there are not a lot of people that know the government gives out Nursing grants. It’s easy to apply for a grant! You just need the right information on how to apply, what to put on your application etc. There are a lot of good programs out there that can help direct you on the best way to apply for nursing grants. The one that has gotten the best reviews and that is most helpful is http://www.grantgenerator.com.
I would like to close by sharing a personal experience of my own on how nursing has benefited my own life personally. Recently, I was brought to the emergency room complaining of abdominal pain. It was so painful that my face was starting to turn green and I thought I was going to pass out. The nurse was not only really compassionate but very sharp!! She immediately realized that it was an emergency situation and grabbed a surgeon immediately. If it weren’t for her knowledge and sense of urgency, I later found out that I would have lost my life. The Doctor brought me back for some x rays and realized I was bleeding out internally and if I would have let it go another 45 minutes, I would have bled to death.
I hope by sharing this personal experience, it will help people realize what an important job being a nurse is and how it can so tremendously benefit someone’s life! I hope people will take the time to look into the website and find out the many ways the government is willing to help.

Get the government to pay for your education!

Most kids in at some point plan to go to college when they graduate from high school. Determining whether to go to a university, out of state, or a local community college is usually the main priority they think about. What they don’t always plan for is how they are going to pay for it. Those who are wise start saving for college at an early age. Some kids expect their parents to pay for it. Others plan to get a scholarship to pay for their education based on either a talent they have, or academics. The majority end up taking out student loans, as well as applying for financial aid.
Tuition for college gets higher every year. The cost of student housing is also growing each year. How do students pay for college and have any money left over for food or transportation? The term “starving student” really does seem to apply.
The government has educational grants available to help! You just have to know where to look to find them http://www.GrantGenerator.com ! Each year they come out with new grant programs in a variety of different categories. The nice thing is that unlike a student loan, government grants are not an actual loan, and do not have to be repaid. It doesn’t cost money to apply for a government grant. Even if you have no credit, which most college students do not, it doesn’t matter. Your credit has nothing to do with obtaining an educational grant. There are a few things that could affect your eligibility. If you have ever had a government loan that you have defaulted on, or if you have had a foreclosure in the last couple of years, that could potentially disqualify you from getting a government grant. Information or applications for some of the more common grants can be obtained directly through the school financial aid or administration office, but there are a lot of grants out there that are really unknown.
There are many educational grants that are specific to a particular area of study. Depending on what your major is, there may be a grant that fits your needs perfectly! In order to search through all of the grant programs that are available, you would have to look at each category separately and then read through each individual program to see if it would apply to you.
The best way to find out is to go to this website http://www.GrantGenerator.com and search all the different categories to see what is available for your area of study. You may be able to get a grant to help pay for your studies. There are even educational grants to study abroad. If you have ever wanted to travel, there are some great opportunities to study in foreign countries, and get some of your expenses paid as well.
Be sure when applying that you keep an eye on the date. Many of the programs have a cut-off date for applications. Don’t miss out on getting the government grant you need by waiting too long!
