text: how do i find grants for college, i am 55 years old?   apply for the collage of your choice. apply to many different collages. don't give up if one collage says no. if you are attempted into that collage, then go to the financial aid department and apply for fall semester of school because that gives you time to find grants for your schooling experience. financial aid department will give you all the information you need. when you go there bring a supporter such as a friend, your child, or parent. don't give up. don't be upset if they are not as friendly as you want because some collages aren't as friendly as others. try community collages have smaller classes and would be easy er to fit in as a new student. go part time 6 hours for financial aid to get your feet wet and be comfortable in collage. your first two classes should be easy so you can build your point average. dream, you can do it. believe in yourself. all things are possible with hard work. school can be a lot of fun. you will meet people from all walks of life in your classroom.
