I’m going to the National K9 College which is a certificate granting school and I’m young so I don’t have the best credit (not bad just not developed) and I’ve only been at my current job a couple months because I just graduated my last school. I cannot find any place that will give me a loan to go to this school!
Do you know of any specific loans for trade schools or maybe scholarships or grants ANYTHING? I’ve already been accepted and its kind of exclusive! I’m dying to go!
This isnt so much about the actual process of recieving a degree as it is with the school in question…
Some people say to Undergrad at a lesser known school, Then for graduates apply to Ivy league schools – or any other equivilent to other Universities-… why is this, and can you recieve a scholarships/grants,etc. both for the undergrad and graduate from Universites?
Thanks in advance for any help..
Although my grades are not, well, exemplary (3.3 GPA), I do plenty of extracurricular activities, including debate, sports, and working a part-time job. I have not yet taken the SAT’s, but I received all excelling marks on AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards-AZ’s standardized test), and 93rd, 90th, and 95th percentile in Pre-SAT’s in the reading, writing, and mathematics categories, respectively.
Since I reside on the west coast, and money is an object, my choices in schools are limited to in-state, Colorado, or California schools. Scholarships are desired, but not expected.
My plan for college is to earn my MBA from ASU, then attend graduate school for architecture, preferably in sustainability and the like.
But, is ASU a good school for this plan, or is there a better option for me? Or, is this field not ideal for me, and just doing business school, and forgetting the architecture plan, is the best choice?
Thanks, all help appreciated!
Short Bio: 23 year old Caucasian female. Currently a 1L law student. Second oldest of 8 children. Raised in a loving family. No history of significant health or psychological issues. Some history of depression in immediate family.
I have a track record of academic excellence. While I am not exactly what you would call an ‘overachiever’, I am a shrewd and efficient student. I finished my freshman year of college during my senior year of high school, graduated in the top 5% of my high school class, received a hefty scholarship to a leading university, and graduated magna cum laude. Due to my advanced credit status I could have completed a B.A. in 2 1/2 years, but opted to stretch it to 4 because I wanted a full “college experience” and, well, my scholarship extended 4 years and I wanted to take advantage of it. Anyway, blah blah blah, that’s only to illustrate the fact that I don’t have a history of poor performance in the past.
Now to the point. I have landed myself in law school (once again riding on a generous scholarship). However I am struggling to find motivation to strive for excellence, or even mediocrity for that matter. I have lost my ‘purpose’, I suppose. I’ve been racking my brain to identify what has been my source of motivation up until this point….and I have no clue. I take my butt to the library every day to study, only to end up spending hours reading about the health care debate, or researching whatever odd topic I find interesting that day. Ridiculous!! It’s like I’m subconsciously sabotaging myself!! Every day I I leave school vowing to ‘do better’ tomorrow and feeling like a lost cause.
Also, I used to be a workout-aholic. I would work out every day, didn’t matter if I was hungover, tired, or whatever. For the past 8 weeks (since school started basically) I’ve been allowing myself to skip the gym repeatedly because, “I’m tired”. Again, ridiculous!
I feel like I am falling apart! I wish someone could help me to be, well, myself, like I used to be. The bottom line is, I am just not motivated to do anything productive. It really is terrible, and I know I sound like a lazy fool.
If you have any words of wisdom please share.
**ALSO**I am not soliciting advice that is in any way related to God or Religion. I will delete any such responses immediately. I have lost all appreciation for Religion after 20 years as a member of a prominent faith community. I have tried that route and it didn’t work for me so PLEASE don’t tell me to ‘pray’ or anything similar.

I am 28 weeks pregnant, 19 years old, a high school graduate, 25 on my ACT, and hoping to find a grant or scholarship so that I may go to college to earn a degree in teaching! I like in Little Rock, Arkansas. Any help on how to get started would be extremely helpful!
I am a nontraditional college student, and the first in my family to go to college, so all of this is new to me. My college has not been very helpful at all in providing me with information about course work that will lead up to graduating with a degree in my major, financial aid, scholarship/grant opportunities, study habits, balancing work/school/kids/life, refresher courses, etc. In fact, I have seen 5 counselors there, so far, and 3 of them told me that there was basically no chance in hell that I would ever make it through school and graduate in my major — and I know it was because of my age! My grades are fantastic. But at every turn, it seems like they are trying to convince me that I CAN’T do this. They keep trying to discourage me, and get me to enroll in one of their “certificate” tech programs, which I DO NOT want to do!
Anyone go to a college or university where they “do it right” for the nontraditional students? Which school is it, and what do they do different?
I will graduate high school may 2009.
I need to raise my ACT score by one point to be eligible for a presidential scholarship that covers tuition and housing. I plan on taking the October ACT and after getting my scores back, applying to the college of my choice.
So, around late mid-November I should have my scores and have everything squared away to apply. (even if my score isnt raised, i still qualify for a scholarship that covers tuition.)
Is November of this year a good time to apply to ensure that I get the scholarship I want?
