Where can I find a list of all government grants/loans for going back to college after many years?

I am married and own a house, and was recently laid off. I am looking use this time to finish my degree, but the cost is prohibitive. I am looking for grants, scholarships, or student loans, but I do not qualify for a Pell Grant, because I earned too much last year.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Government grants/loans for college & for those out of work for reemployment links from Mahalo Answers I had asked earlier. Other links on these pages may also be of interest:

I found a Bona Fide service provider who will find all the grants benefits for you. They have been doing so for the past 15 years.
They will furnish personalized documentation revealing your prospective eligibility to receive a Private Grant, Government Grant or other Financial Assistance available.

I suggest you check them out.

I would totally recommend fastweb.com for scholarships. This website is free. You answer some questions about your interest, grades, income etc, and then they send you information on scholarships that you qualify for. They can even send you a reminder before certain scholarships are due.

You’ll want to fill out a fafsa online (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/) as soon as possible. Government aide is on a first come first serve basis so try filling it out January 1st of every year. Even if you don't qualify for aide, you'll need the information on the FAFSA, for a lot of scholarships.

For a Graduate/professional you can get up to $12,000 a year in unsubsidized loans, and $8,500 a year in subsidized loans. (*Unsibsidized means you pay the interest as you go, subsidized means the Government pays it.) You can do this up until you have taken $73,000 in unsubsidized loans and/or $65,500 in subsidized loans.

For Medical degree you can get up to $32,000 a year in unsubsidized student loans and $8,500 in subsidized student loans. You’re limited to $158,500 in unsubsidized student loans and $65,500 in subsidized loans.

Just keep in mind that Government aide will require you to get above a certain GPA (I think it’s above a 2.0 for undergraduates and above a 3.0 for graduate+ students.) You’ll also have to go attend college at least part time; if you fall bellow that, you may have to start repaying your federal student loans.

Other aide will vary by state, so call your local college and ask them what kind of grants they offer and how you can apply.
