Question:

Dear Donna,

I want to go back to school for a doctoral degree in the worst way. I have been an NP for 12 years and an RN for a total of 23 years. The problem is that I don’t know how I would pay for it with two children in college. I am not getting any younger. Do you have any ideas for me?

Eileen

Dear Donna replies:

Dear Eileen,

Where there is a will there is always a way. More money is available than ever for education. Read “Master the Scholarship Game” at www.dcardillo.com/articles/scholargame.html and start filling out those applications.

Good luck,
Donna
