Paying for college is perhaps the biggest hurdle adult students face once they've decided to go back to school. Everyone talks about scholarships, but how and where do you find them? Gen and Kelly Tanabe show you lots of options in their book,
1001 Ways to Pay for College" Practical Strategies to Make Any College Affordable. We chose 50 to get you started. Once you see the possibilities, you'll want to pick up their book and make sure you look everywhere you can for financial help. I have a feeling you're going to be very surprised.
