Question:
Tbi is tramatic brain injury. i want to go back to college. need sorce for grants.?

Answer: The best place to start is contact your local Department or Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. It is their job to help you enter the workforce. It is free to use. They do offer some financial help and coaching to the people they service. They can also be located in the blue pages of the telephone book or on the state government website. I will provide other sources to locate money for college.

First, fill out the FAFSA form. It will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. The form becomes available on January 1 of each year. It needs to be done for each year of college.

Second, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.

Third, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Fourth, use Google.com and Yahoo.com to locate nursing scholarships and grants in your state. Sometimes it can be located by searching your state government website, too.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
