Answer 1

Go to:   www.fastweb.com   There are lots of scholarships out there, but you have to wade through them to find the ones you qualify for.

Answer 2

You won't be able to get any federal financial aid like Pell grants or student loans to attend this school.  It's not a real school... according to the dept of education.  

You should think of this as a continuing education program... probably good for your general knowledge and understanding, but not something that will stand alone or will be able to get you a job on solely on their "degree" program alone.  Come on, your 4 year bachelors degree for only 3,220.00?  Four years worth of materials in that little picture?  One ladies testimonial said she liked it so much she finished the program in 6 months.  HA!  I would suggest you contact your local university or community college and inquire about their health programs... perhaps nutrition.

Be aware, this and many other "on-line schools" say it's "accredited", but anymore it just means some shmuck opened a checking account and listed DBA (doing business as) "The Natural Healing Association" or the "Nutritional Alternative Solution" something or other and all it is some dude with a color printer who can do whatever they want and say they are accredited buy them.

I am attaching a book about federal Pell grants ($400-$4,700 free money per year) and student loans.  I'm also attaching the federal database of recognized schools by the Department of Education.

Answer 3

I go to Southern New Hampshire University, currently I'm doing it online.  When you apply for financial aid, if you do, the financial aid office at your school will take care of it .  Call the financial aid office of your school.

You sound like you can get a grant, I'm pretty much in the same situation as you are and I get $600 in grants per semester.
