Part-Time Scholarship Application Form

Modern demographic shifts include changes in the way individuals earn higher education degrees. The traditional scholastic progression has students
finishing high school around age 18, and then continuing directly to degree programs. Today, growing numbers of higher education students are earning degrees later in life.
Higher Education students of all ages depend on valuable financial aid to tackle tuition costs and other expenses associated with higher education. Adults returning to higher education face unique obstacles in the financial aid arena.
Most scholarship opportunities are specifically designated for graduating high school learners.
A large number of scholarships require students to be enrolled full-time in order to qualify. Because they are established in the workforce, many adult learners only attend classes on a part-time basis.
Many adult students work full-time, so their incomes disqualify them from scholarships. As a result, adult higher education students are expected to rely heavily on student loans to pay for tuition and other expenses.
