Did you know that every year Congress allocates around $67 million for student aid? The money is to be awarded in the form of gifts, loans, grants and scholarships, all based on a student’s qualifications and/or need.

However, of the various types of student funding aid available from the United States Federal Government, the preferred choice is grants, by both both students and parents alike, mainly because grant money for college, unlike a student loan, doesn’t have to be paid back. It is based solely on need, calculated by putting your financial data through a formula, which includes your income and various expenses. This is then used to determine your award.

If you  really want to go after grants, especially for business and be successful – you need to have the FULL package together – and that is a lot more than just filling out the grant application. It also means putting together a business plan, finding the right grant funder, getting the right supporting paperwork together and making sure that all of the myriad details are put together in the best way to increase your chances of success.

Ideally, you would hire a professional grant writer to do this for you – but most people looking for grants for their business or education don’t usually have a spare $3500 to $5000 to hire this kind of professional help.

That’s where the National Grant Secrets ‘Grant Robot’ comes in! It’s a slick little software program that walks you through the whole process, helps you put together your business plan, all the paperwork you need to complete the package, the programs you qualify for, and the right application.

The interactive database contains all types of grants: business, nonprofit, research, educational, housing. The software can be used on Mac or PC, and will take you through the whole process from search to completing your grant package to submission!

It’s a brand new system, just released, and I think it is going to catch on like wild fire! Backed by ClickBank’s full guarantee policy – you really cannot go wrong with this one as your ‘personal assistant’ in your grant search!

In my book – this is the real deal – a very small investment with a huge potential return!

The Grand Slam Guide to College Baseball Recruiting and Scholarships Guide was written by former MBL pitcher, John Riedling, who played in the big leagues for 14 years, with the Cincinnati Reds and the Florida Marlins.

Unlike most athletic scholarship guides – this one is based on interviews with the people that make the decisions on who gets the scholarships – the coaches themselves.
I knew right off the bat (sorry for the pun!) that this was going to be a different kind of guide, because Reidling suggests that you start the athletic scholarship search as early as your freshman year – and I know from personal experience that this is the truth!

Unfortunately, few people tell you this!

This is really an excellent well written and affordable guide to going after a baseball scholarship – but the core principles can be applied to virtually any sport.

Here’s what you are going to get in this guide:?

Scholarship and loans are the biggest source of financial aid for students. Together these make up more than 50% of student financial aid. The most popular though is grant money for college – because you don’t have to pay the money back!

The qualifications for grant money for college are usually very strict. Unlike loans or scholarships where money is awarded based on your credit standing or merit, typically grant money for college is based almost solely on your financial need. Read the rest of this entry

Health care continues to be one of the career areas where professionals are still in demand and nursing is about as recession-proof a career as you will ever find, especially with the ‘graying’ population at an all time high. as the number of people who get sick doesn’t decrease when times are bad.

So, the question is – how do you find scholarships for nursing school?

Nursing programs at community colleges and state sponsored four year schools are in heavy demand and that means that even many qualified students are actually being rejected and end up turning to the very expensive private schools and training programs.

it’s also important to note that nursing school has more expenses associated with it than getting your degree in business, for example: you need to purchase the required uniforms for your clinicals, you are required to carry malpractice insurance, you need reliable transportation between the school and the hospital site, and you are required to have extra immunizations

The first step, even before applying for admission, will be to contact your chosen school to determine what kind of aid package might be available for you. In most cases, this will be a combination of scholarships, grants, work study and loans. At most of the ‘for-profit’ nursing schools, your financial package will be comprised mostly of loans, as very few of these schools offer scholarships for nursing school.

If you are planning to get a four year Bachelor of Science of Nursing with a RN, you may qualify for a military nursing scholarship. When you graduate, you will be commissioned into a branch of the military as an officer, but these scholarships cover all expenses, including your tuition and books, and provide a small living stipend as well.

For example, with the Air Force nursing scholarship program, all students who meet the minimum qualifications get the award – there is no further selection process. In most cases, students will have an eight year commitment to the military, three of which must be active duty.

The sponsored ladder is another possibility for a nursing scholarship: a hospital will pay for your first year of school to become a practical or vocational nurse. In exchange, you commit to work for the hospital for two or three years following graduation. You draw a full salary once you get started working.

But the best part of this arrangement is that the organization will pay for your part time studies toward a Registered Nursing (RN) degree during your employment commitment. In this way, you have your tuition paid for and, after the first year, you earn while you learn.

If you are considering majoring in nursing, you should take advantage of a free online scholarship database that will let you search nationwide nursing scholarship opportunities.
