Grants and Loans for older college student?

jaybrek asked:


I’m 26 years old and I’ve finally decided to go back to college. I went right after high school but dropped out. I know it’s a little far fetched but I was looking to go OUT OF STATE for my education. I’ve lived in Tampa, Florida for 26 years and the beachy, tropical, and over crowded lifestyle is all I’ve ever known. I like it here but I figured I’m still young enough to venture out. Although I’ll probably end up at a school here in Tampa.

My question is do you guys know of any scholarships or grants that I might be qualified for? Do you know any web-sites with useful information? I’m 26, i have no college credits, no SAT scores, and no foreign language credits. Also I’m caucasian or whatever you want to say…I’m a white dude. No family in the military or anything either, no kids, no wife, no sick siblings or family members. Essentially it’s just me broke and going no where. I’m planning on majoring in nursing or something else in the medical field. I know community college is probably where I will be starting off. I’m mostly looking to go to Maine. The University of Maine is the school I want to go to most. I’ve always wanted to live in Maine. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

Also, if I just pay the out of state fees for one year at Maine and I get my driver license transferred to Maine in that year would I be considered an INSTATE STUDENT. How does that work. The web-sites aren’t exactly clear. Again thanks for the help and thank you for reading.
