My name is Tracy. I am a 22 year old mother of 2 little girls and attending The Art institute Online for their Residential Planning Certificate. I am hoping to continue my education and obtain my bachelors degree in interior design. The only thing is I live in New York and the school I am attending is based out of Pittsburg. I qualified for about 500 dollars from the Pell grant and the rest I have to take student loans. I do not qualify for state aid because I am attending a Distance learning program. Once I have my certificate I will be qualified to get a job in a field that will enable me to provide for my family better than waiting tables (which is what I do now). I am wondering if anyone can give me information on federal grants that I would qualify for. Like I said I plan on continuing my education and I would like to continue through the Art Institute of Pittsburg but I cannot afford it. The only school in my area that offers interior design is Syracuse University and the tuition there is crazy. Plus it is still a 45 min drive and in the winter that wouldn’t be much fun. Also I am not so sure I would get accepted to that school. I would like to do as much research as possible in the next year till I am done with my certificate program so I am prepared to make the next step. Any information or suggestions will help, thank you so much!
