Are you looking for a scholarship? Here is a site to help.

I have been writing for another blog for some time that nontraditional students might like.

It is the Find Scholarships and Grants blog. Here is what the header (top art) looks like:






You can search for the kind of scholarship you are looking for there, and see some great free links you can explore.

Here is that link again:

Find Scholarships and Grants.

Let me know what you like about it, and what you would like to see there in the future.

Have a great, productive week, nontraditional students, and those who help them.

I hope everyone had a GREAT Valentine's Day too.

Aww! This cute Valentine schoolgirl is from Peter-J-Pann on Flickr.

Something to think about - and how are your finals going?

WKU has Commencement soon. Do you?

I am enjoying reading about my Facebook friends who are graduating this year. They are taking finals and are excited about that too. (Or just terrified...)

So... how is your education experience going, nontraditional students?

Leave your thoughts in a comment at the end of this posting.

Also, I just listed something fun for students still enrolled in school. Why not spend some time applying for some unusual and unknown scholarships this summer? Here is that link:

Unusual, odd, wacky, and unknown scholarships and sites to explore.

I wish you the BEST of luck on your exams, graduation, and enrollment for next year or for Summer Term.

All for today,

The University of Oregon Nontrad News







I found a fun web page about nontraditional students today.

It is from the University of Oregon and is called their Nontrad News. It is under the Dean of Students umbrella on the site. This site for nontraditional students includes a Resource Guide and information about Veterans Awareness week, a contact person (so important), and Nontraditional Student Profiles too. Here is that site page: The University of Oregon Nontrad News.

I really like this page, and will be adding it to the Nontraditional Student resource page at the BA Nontraditional Students website's Oregon page. I know that students in Oregon will be happy to find out all the services and help that this school offers.

Other things they have on this page are listings and pages for other activities just for nontraditional students, such as a Student  Families Clothing and Toy Exchange, (they had this on November 5th), a helpful link to the Health Center, a workshop called Get Savvy (for academic success) and a lot more.

I like how they let nontraditional students know just what is offered at the school for all ages. I also like how they include a contact number for each section.

Good job, University of Oregon!
