Individual Colleges and Universities

There are colleges and universities in almost every state in the USA that offer free tuition to any adult over the age of 65. It is really worth asking you state education bureau for information or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them if there are any programs for women of your age bracket.

There is money out there. Asking in one place may lead you to another. Always end your conversation about student aid and scholarships with: "I really appreciate your taking time to answer my questions. Before I leave, I wonder if you might offer any suggestions of where else I might try or who I might contact to obtain financing for my degree?

You will astonished at how often women get 'just the right lead' from such a question asked at the end of a conversation.

Much luck to you.
