There are many people, like myself, who are re-entering the academic world for retraining due to the current economic situation. Because I am an older student, who has been working, I don't qualify for any grants or assistance of any kind - just unsubsidized loans. It would be nice if there were more opportunities for people like me instead of all the high school kids or people under 25. Doesn't anyone want to help the older, more mature student who has the wisdom of life and the real world behind them?

I am almost 21 years old and I'm in DESPERATE need of scholarship money like this and I would love to participate in essay contest such as this one, but unfortunately, this contest like many others, ONLY cater to high school students. There are plenty of scholarships for high school students, but I would love to see more scholarship opportunities for transfer students and students who not enrolled because they are switching schools (such as myself). I would like to continue my education just as well.
