As you can see in my video, I'm terrified of both speaking in front of a video camera AND asking others for help! 

 

Fortunately, I’m even more terrified about the prospect of not having enough funding to finish my degree, so I faced the first two fears and made you this video so you could see what I’m up to and why I care about changing careers.

 

I have an $8,000 balance left for my summer tuition so I'm reposting this in hopes to raise as much of that as possible in the next TWO WEEKS.  So - if you've been thinking of contributing, now's the time! 

 

Because a new school year starts in the Fall, I have full funding in place for that semester (the last semester of my program!) I've been applying to grants and scholarships all year and the ones I've been awarded are applied to the fall (2017 school year) - so I need help getting Summer paid off so I can start the Fall.

 

Below is more information about my situation:

 

Why would anyone need help paying for nursing school??  People do that every day, don’t they?  

 

There are several factors that set my situation apart:

 

  1.  It’s an accelerated program with Two Years of didactic and clinical training all rolled into 11.5 months!
  2. This means little/no time to work while in school.
  3. This also means DOUBLE TUITION.  (My total cost of attendance is $71,000 with tuition, books, housing, etc.)
  4. There is less financial aid available for a second Bachelor’s degree.
  5. Going to school full time is much more expensive for a mother of two than the average ramen-scarfing 20-something. 

 

The good news is that I’ve managed to pull together the vast majority of this $71,000 by investing my savings and applying to numerous grants, scholarships and alternative lending sources.  If you know me then you know that I’ve worked really hard searching every resource available to me.

 

So despite hundreds of hours of my most valiant efforts, I’ve still come up with a gap.  Anything you can do to help me bridge this would be greatly appreciated!
