Financial Aid Resource and Scholarship Opportunities
BestColleges.com Offers Financial Aid and Scholarship Opportunities
Navigating the waters of financing one’s higher education is becoming more and more stressful with each passing school year. With the average cost of tuition closing in on $30,000 a year, students are looking for more available ways to offset the cost of going to college. For decades, this has been accomplished through the availability of scholarships and grants. But as tuition continues to rise, more and more people are seeking out available scholarships and grants to help cover the cost. While the number of numbers of applicants competing for a limited number of scholarships continues to grow, sadly, this leaves many unable to pursue their education, and at the forefront of those left behind are minority and underprivileged students.
The team at BestColleges.com has produced important resources dedicated to helping minority and underprivileged students pursue their dreams of obtaining a degree in higher education. These pages offer an up-to-date, one-stop-shop for available scholarships and further detail valuable information.

Nursing.org Offers Financial Aid Opportunities
In the U.S., we are projected to experience a shortage of nurses that will only be compounded by the aging Baby Boomer generation. Such a deficiency would negatively impact our society at large, but would most acutely be felt by already vulnerable populations. In order to help alleviate its effects, it’s more important than ever to encourage individuals to pursue careers in nursing and fill these job vacancies.
However, skyrocketing tuition costs deter individuals from pursuing this lucrative field – as well as contribute to the racial disparity in higher education. In an effort to make the nursing field more accessible and equitable, the team at Nursing.org researched a pair of financial aid guides for current and prospective nurses. One is specifically geared towards students of minority backgrounds and includes scholarship opportunities for groups under this umbrella:
