If you are a woman over 30, you may qualify for a scholarship and get free money to go to school. There are thousands of grants and scholarships offered by the Obama stimulus bill to help women over the age of 30 receive financial aid to go to school. The government is not alone in encouraging people to pursue a career. Private companies and non-profits now offer between $10,000 and $50,000 per year to go to school.

Applying for a scholarship is very simple. It’s almost like applying for a job. Many older women feel that there is no financial help when it comes to school. This is not true. Just because she is of legal age does not mean that she cannot apply for a scholarship. The government is willing to help you in the same way it would someone who just finished high school and is applying for a scholarship.

There is a program that is specifically aimed at awarding scholarships to women over 30 years of age. A problem that is common to many women is that they do not have the ability to pay for school. Many are determined and willing to complete their degree, but do not have the funds to do so. College can be very expensive and taking out a loan will make education even more expensive now as you have to pay interest on the money you borrow. With the help of grants and scholarships you can now go to school without paying a dime.
