Aid for recently disabled returning to school....

Postby ggofnj » Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:53 pm

Are there any govt grants for someone trying to persue a BS after being disabled from another career? I'm in the process of going from short-term disability to long-term disabilty, and current do not have a job, although I'm actively seeking. Not having a degree is a major road block to getting a position. Thanks for any information or sites to investigate.

There is nothing that I know of specifically for your situation, however I would file the FAFSA and go through the federal financial aid process: http://www.fafsaonline.com/.

Additionally I would definitely search for scholarships. There are many scholarships for people who have overcome hardships and Student Scholarship Search can help you find them: http://www.studentscholarshipsearch.com/

I've stumble upon a non-profitable organization last week. I love the site. it'shttp://www.usconsumerprotect.org/

It'll probably answer your questions, they also have a toll free to ask questions with.
