Most Adult Learners don’t realize there is financial help other than the typical financial aid resources (loans, grants, etc.). Scholarships are available specifically designated for the AL. We encourage you to apply for these scholarships even if you have other financial aid benefits. Scholarship requirements can be intimidating such as essays. Do not let that deter you. There is a Writing Center in the English Building that will guide you as you write your essay. There are plenty of scholarships to apply for, so don’t feel that if you don’t qualify for one, you won’t for another.
