Guide to Financial Aid for Online College Education
GetEducated's expert advice for online college students needing financial aid, student loans, scholarships and free grants for accredited online university degree programs.
Unemployed new mom Amanda Lienhardt, 30, found herself looking intoonline teaching certificate programs, months after her short-term contract teaching at a small school finished.
Despite holding a degree in elementary education, it was hard for her to get a foothold in the wavering job market, and her experience in that temporary job left her reeling.
"The way things ended with my last position just made me look at myself as a teacher, and ask 'How can I improve, and become a better teacher for my students?'" she says.
Lynn Ponder, 44, isn’t the only one in her household who will be in college next year: The online student will be midway through her Master of Arts in Technical Communications at Texas Tech University next fall, just as her 18-year-old daughter enters classes on a college campus for the first time. Thanks to Get Educated, which has scholarships for single moms and others, this single mom's pursuit will be easier.
With the help of Get Educated's $1,000 Excellence in Online Education Scholarship -- which was awarded to Ponder as a member of Core4Women, a web-based support network for online students -- she’ll be completing her semester with fewer expenses.
Rosa Morgan, 42, is an In School Suspension Supervisor at Lebanon Middle School in Lebanon, Indiana. She is the winner of the GetEducated.com free $1,000 online college scholarship. Rosa will use the grant toward an online Bachelors of Management at Indiana Wesleyan University.
At ten years old, Morgan moved to America from the Cape Verde Islands, located off the coast of Africa. School was challenging for Morgan, as she was placed in bi-lingual immersion classes. Without any prior experience speaking English, she struggled to keep up with her studies.
Morgan remembers, “I did not know many English words and I did not know many Portuguese words. I had come from an island that was colonized by the Portuguese, so the language in school was Portuguese, but we spoke Creole at home. My island was very poor, so school was not a high priority.”{{sponsor56}}
Heather Ellison, 36, works as a restaurant manager in Rodney, Minnesota, while earning a master of business administration (MBA) at Baker College Online. She is a winner of a GetEducated.com $1,000 distance learning scholarship award.
Ellison is a single mother working 50+ hours a week, so distance learning became the only option for her to achieve a higher education. She attended a university directly out of high school, but dropped out during her last semester.
After working in the restaurant industry since she was sixteen, Ellison now values the importance of a college degree. She explains, “This is not where I saw myself being, and this is not where my passions lie.”
