I would contact the financial aid department of your son's school and ask if they have any specific scholarships or grants that you can apply for. Look for scholarships specific to his major. Also, look in your community, and (if applicable) ask your religious establishment if they have any scholarships. Local businesses and other organizations/companies may also sponsor scholarships that might not be listed online – call them up and ask around! Researching takes time, but every penny you can receive through scholarships or grants counts! Best of luck, EducationGrant Editor Hi,

All you have to do is every 6 months call and have the loans deferred. As long as you are a single mother you will not have to pay back your student loans until your last child reaches the age of 18.

As of fall 2009, you are only able to receive one Pell Grant per school year. Things may change going forward if education officials change the Pell Grant policy. For more information and assistance, contact your financial advisor. Best of luck, EducationGrant Editor Hello, Thanks for reading!

I'm a single mom and having a huge loan to pay back at the end scares me with the way this economy is going. I may not get a job right away. What would make me much more comfortable is knowng a good amount of my program cost could be covered. Well my main question is if I am in a two year program can i apply for the pell grant twice and get it twice for the same program? Just curious. I literally can't make ends meet for me and my son and want to pay off some debt I already have get an education that could very much benefit my son and I. Thank you. Hello,

I re read your post and if it were me what I would do is this: The RN degree requires about two years of prerequisite science, math, English, Speach, and some other courses but then so would your Human resources degree. So, you might want to take the prereqs and get them out of the way then get your nursing degree, you can then get working adn start making some decent money. Now, you're in a good position because many places that you would find work, (hospitals and such) will pay for your college classes, especially if you want to get a BA in Human Resources and work in admin for that institution later on. That is how I would do it, having gone to most of my nursing for LPN but deciding later o that I didn't really like nursing. ;-) Sorry, I should have said this one more thing.

I mean if you need help to pay for it then just don't finish your bachelor's until your nursing degre is almost finished. plan things so that they both nearly finish at the same time that way you can get the majority of it paid for with financial aid. But the Pell Grant and lots of financial assistance is for undergrads only so just something you will want to check into. On the other hand, there are many awards that are for only grad students so if you want to get your degree first then apply for grad student awards then do it that way. Good luck either way!

Would financial aid pay for more than one major? Like If I got the bachelor's first in human resources and wanted to go back to college for a different major and get a RN Associates degree? I'm just wondering if I would still get financial aid if I was to get a bachelors degree in one field but lets say IF i was unable to find a job, I'd still be 'underemployed' BECAUSE of LACK OF EXPERIENCE, would they pay for me to go back so I could get associates degree in 'healthcare?'
