have you tried your  state lottery. Or the financial aid office of your college. they will have list of places you can get grants, or loans.  Good luck

Answer 2

Hello how are you? There is no specific age as far as being eligible to receive scholarships and grants. Many students have had success with Scholarship Support. They teach you how to search for scholarships and grants. They also provide student loan resources. I hope this helps you. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Check with your college financial aid office and try searching for a scholarship "match" (free) at http://www.online-degrees-and-scholarshi...  Don't be fooled by the URL, the scholarship match programs listed are free and open to people attending traditional or online degree programs.  In fact, one of the searches listed is geared specifically for "returning" (older) students.

And, of course, don't neglect to fill out the FAFSA.

As someone who returned to (graduate) school at about your age, I wish you good luck.  Not that you need it...returning students almost always do well.
