You might be surprised how much goobermint $$$ is available even to “rich” folks. The school should have a scholarship office and there is tons on the web. The Military is a good way to go for many professions. They pay for a large part of school and the hitch afterwards is not bad in an uncertain economic world.

I'm not rich, but thanks for the implied compliment.

Do you know of any sites which act as "aggregators" where sites for a lot of different scholarships are linked to? We're still visiting schools and would like to find as much as possible from sources not tied to any one place ;-)

Cheers!

That's what I did. In my 6 years in the AF I spent 1.5 years in advanced tech schools. Those are very hard schools to graduate from. And after work I went to night school cheap for a BS degree in microwave engineering. I know everything about it and companies will scoop me up if I choose to switch. On my terms.

20 years later, less educated people are asking me for answers to their problems. You might as call me a PhD for teaching folks how things are going to work.

The chief engineer Phd likes what I do and it pays off.

We have a common problem; more women need to study hard math, physics, chemistry in this field. Women have other ideas for solving problems and create solutions. That are useful.
