Subscribe Feed (RSS)My husband is going to school 2 days a week and he works 3 days a week making 12hr, but it is constuction work and sometimes he will not have work due to weather etc.. If he does work a full week, his paycheck is about $250. That is supporting a family of four. We are living at our church and not paying rent, but we have other bills that eat all of that and more over. He has a pell grant and will also get a scholarship for academics. Next semester, he will be going to school 5 days a week for Paramedic, so he will not be able to work. Does anyone know of any grants or scholarships that he could qualify for since he has a family and won’t be able to work to get his degree?

One of the things I told some of my brighter students is that coming from the South Bronx, it's not enough to be just as good as other kids.

He could look into loans, he could look into getting a job with more hours, you could look into working while he’s not in school, even something like babysitting. You could look into food stamps, you could question the church for more help, if your other two family member are ancient enough to work, they could pitch in. They don’t need everything handed to them on a silver platter make them pull their own weight.
you may have to get a job if your children are ancient enough just work the hours they are in school if not then place them in childcare.
Yes, you can get a job… or a second job to help support your husband and your family.
