Motivational page, The Website, Scholarships, plus send me your group!

Yes, it's a new year, Nontrads!

 











Are you motivated to go back to school? I have a good page on the site for you (below). Plus more tips.

You may be reading this at the Non-traditional Student website.

This site for Nontraditional Students,  will be updated for 2018 this year. In the meantime, there are some good links and pages here.

Here are some of my favorites:

Nontraditional Student Scholarships to check out, Page One and Page Two, plus a page to help you Get Motivated. I hope to also add pages this year here.

If you have a Nontraditional group at your school, drop me a line at lizann 447 at yahoo dot com (no spaces, etc.), and I will add your link and message to your State Page here.

In the meantime, for the Nontraditional Students in school right now, I hope things are going well.

Feel free to post at the Blog Page under Comments.

More Advice for the Nontraditional Student - 15 Tips

You may or may not have heard these tips before.

But they are things that may REALLY help you out as you go back to school.

#1. Let other people answer the teacher besides you. You don't have to always hold your hand up. And limit how long you talk. Other people want to enter in.

#2. Try looking for scholarships before you are in school. You never know!

#3. If you don't have great eyesight or hearing, sit in the front - even if this is uncomfortable for you at first.

#4. TAKE NOTES if at all possible. If not, record your classes (if they are lecture-style)

#5. Make some friends.

#6. Make a study group if you need to.

#7. Think positive, this can make a difference.

#8. Don't take too many classes at once.

#9. Drop classes by the deadline, or you can really regret it.

#10. Make sure to know your prerequisites... and plan for what classes to take when. (Ask your Advisor if you are not sure... it's worth the time...)

#11. Try to have a relationship with your teacher AND at least a few of your classmates, if possible.

#12. Be friendly.

#13. Always carry a Scheduler or Calendar. Use it.

#14. Never wait for the last minute on assignments.

#15. If you have a hard time in a class, don't lose heart. You can always take it over, IF you need to.
