State-Based Tuition Breaks

My name is Anita. Like the post below from demetria392003, I am currently in the process of enrolling in Remington College Medical Billing and Coding Program. I will have a balance due of $9,144.05 after the Pell Grant kicks in. Like demetria392003, I have also put my dreams of receiving a college/trade school diploma/degree on hold to raise my children without spousal support and now they're grown even though I am currently raising 2 grandchildren (10yrs and 14 yrs old) . I am currently drawing unemployment ($1200 a month, which barely covers the daily living expenses) just to get by the best way I can, so any money recieved would help pay for essential needs(i.e.Auto expenses, personal items, school materials, etc.) would be greatly appreciated....Thank you for your time and ANY help would be appreciated. Anita my email address is anita_081258@yahoo.com

My name is James. I have worked in CA from 1981-2004, and do not intend to leave the state. I had gained General Manager status in a large corporation, but in 2004 I became disabled. I am recieving social security, but the cost of my health care and housing does not leave me with much. My goal is to be back to work in 1 to 2 years. I have applied for a BA in Business Organizational Management at Ashford U. I can not be on my feet much, so with a degree I could get a position in a corporate office where I would not need to be on my feet. The cost for 64 credits is 27,363. I need 150 credits for a BA degree. Whatever you could do would be great. Thank you for your time, James Tarbell. 916-871-8862 tarbell.james@yahoo.com

Hello,
I am a mother of 4 sons. I have, for the last two months, attended Columbia College of Missouri through their distance education program. I just finished my first two classes with a 4.0 GPA. I do receive the Pell Grant, but it is only enough to pay for tuition. After the tuition, there is only $44.00 left. I do not have enough for books unless I pay for them out of my pocket. I am trying to further my education to help my family. My husband has been the sole provider for the last 10 years. I want to help him, help us. We have worked very hard to cut all expenses for the last 8 yrs. We have had no television svc, home phone. or any other expenses of this nature so that I can go back to school. Our grocery costs have been reduced to $100.00 a week to feed four people. I sent my 17 year old to live with his oldest brother in Mo. so he could start college as well. All I am asking for is enough to buy my books each semester. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this, and you can contact me at: mountainhaven1@msn.com

i am a 56 yr old single lady and getting ready to start college soon. I had aheart transplant in 2001. I am asking for some help with grants and etc. To help me with my college education. I would be very greatful if you could help me at this time. Thank You.

Being a University state employee for 8+ years, I am eligible to take 3 courses per fiscal year via tuition waiver. Having an Associate's degree in an applied science did not require general education courses. In order for me to be able to complete my Bachelor's Degree in a reasonable timely manner, I must take more courses and pay out of pocket for them as well. I make less than29K per year, divorced, displaced homemaker, no other financial support and respectfully ask for help in attaining my goal to be able to create a rewarding career, more financially sound future for myself.
