Are there financial aid options for adults returning to college?

Yes, there are many financial aid options for adults going back to school. You can get grants and scholarships, which are great because you don't have to pay them back. Check for special scholarships just for adult students. Don't forget about federal aid like Pell Grants, and some states have their own help too.

If your job offers tuition help, that's another way to pay for school. Student loans are also an option, but remember, you'll have to pay these back later. And, you might even get tax credits for going to school, which can save you money.

For more detailed information, answer a few questions and we’ll build you a back-to-school plan that includes in-depth answers about how to afford your undergraduate degree.

How can I choose the right degree for career advancement?

Choosing the right degree for your career is an important first step. Think about what you love doing and the jobs you want in the future. Look for degrees that match these jobs. Also, consider how the degree will fit into your life right now. Some fields, like technology or healthcare, are really growing and might offer good job chances.

If you share what field interests you, your back-to-school plan will give you advice on top careers and degrees that may be a good fit.

How can I balance work or family and school?

Balancing school with work or family is tough but doable. Plan your time well. Use a calendar to keep track of schoolwork and family or job things. Online classes can be more flexible if you're busy. Don't forget to ask for help when you need it, whether it's childcare, study groups, or talking to your boss about a flexible schedule.

Your back-to-school plan will include more specific advice including free tools that can help you become a time management pro!
