Only if you move into a residence within the Kalamazoo Public School district and start your child in the Kalamazoo Public Schools from kindergarten on through high school graduation.  Otherwise, if your child is older and enters KPS in a later grade, they may only pay part or none of tuition.  The Kalamazoo Promise free tuition deal is only valid at a Michigan university or community college if your child gets accepted (AND graduates from high school).\n\nDo your research before you move, because there are not too many good jobs available there. It's a small town, only 80,000. And there's a gold rush on to buy houses within the KPS school district, so expect higher house prices than 1 year ago.

No.  sorry.  I go to school with people studying to be nurses and they all have to pay.

I doubt it. A child is required by federal law to attend school. if they hold the transcripts they will be hindering your child from doing what is demanded by law.. They can take you to court and sue you but not "harm" your child's education.. The bill is yours not your child's, they cannot take legal action against a minor.. They're just using a scare tactic..But really you should go ahead and pay that bill cause chances are that they will come after you in small claims court. If your child was in college it would be a different matter.\nReport cards and transcripts are not the same thing, when it is time for your child to go back to school, they must release the trascripts..otherwise it would be the same thing as a hospital holdin yo baby hostage until you pay the bill..

I am from the USA and just finished a program in Denmark...prior to this year, these colleges in scandinavia DID offer free tuition....now, they charge money to anyone not inside the EU. They have limited scholarships. the price is 15,000 USD per year (yikes!). \n\nI was lucky and one of the last people to get a free education.

If you can get into an armed forces academy, I was under the assumption that tuition is free. It's a little harder than applying at a normal school though...

YES.\nChristian Children's Fund (CCF) is an international child-sponsorship group based in Richmond, Virginia that provides assistance to communities in 33 countries. According to the organization, it has assisted more than 10.5 million children and families.\n\nConceived in 1938, CCF has provided more than $2.5 billion in services to children--most of the funding coming from individual contributors in the form of monthly child sponsorships. In addition, CCF says it receives grants and donations that support vocational training, literacy training, food distribution, educational programs, early childhood development, health and immunization programs, nutritional programs, water and sanitation development, and emergency relief in both man-made and natural disasters.\n\nThe organization has grown in mainstream popularity, most notably from its television commercials depicting photographs of impoverished children in developing countries.\n\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Children%27s_Fund\nhttp://rc10.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=15KPjg1whSs5Xyl%5FruNLbXU7Demw1X18j2tJ5wW8A7W5YLoTA%2DCf4hO%2Dfex5wmFmRU2QGMlKaB%5F9MSL%5FMLqMunFgmHRVaOG%5FWr0Y3FzZ1uO66mXdBEg7Iox%2Dz%5Fy4s%5FSgsAFm%2D0CtS6nO2%5FJaKLKSjvyr8gvkXa8PBtxci0wuAbFrPdzgp1iF3TJJoB6tMhiMrEIJINTKQMcnWioy2XcOpBytgD5JusTTZIJSO0v2J5rFqFVjF6t%5FLAf4YPsL3nx4KadJ2i3p0GfRqep6w6tEqGmibfkMknbyvcmeUczgoSFKb7ZCTblgkrqvLvvMXNbtFjqHCiAJ2BSC6YN0p5eVMwX6L%5Ff1itMoAMkV6%5FR9cTL97t6lXyN4HgSS1%2DIkYCm9uyJscG5BPKzjlwD2KNRJOS6TpKRp8wm0O%5F%5FzCZ%5F1N5nvFkpqqffZUa6d3WklO%5FNwonqA6ypoWzPeKdrFlGoCFVm%2DALAddQhoo0oCNTtRH4suO527of4MtWfP%2DvxSQW6eWyvGMBIr%5FKcORTH6YbGQ%2E%2E&yargs=www.christianchildrensfund.org

No.  It is illegal to do so.\nHowever, the alumni association may have someone give your mom a job.  The college may give you a scholarship that covers tuition, room & board, book, tutors, etc.  A "friend of the school" may loan you a new car until graduation.  etc...\nBut, you can receive NO money.

You will need to check with the school, but the Dept. of Education recently began allowing Pell money to count towards online, for-profit institutions like University of Phoenix.  My guess would be that DeVry also has similar access to Pell funds, but you want to check with their Financial Aid people.

At some colleges, children of employed parents get free tuition.  It depends on the college.  Most colleges with such programs still require students to meet entrance requirements.\n\nI am familiar with the University of Pittsburgh.  They have a free tuition program and entrance requirements.

Her kids can only receive financial aid if they are legal. If they where legal they would all ready have SS #'s. If they want to attend college they would have to pay out of state fees for attending college and they really are high even for junior. The fastest way for her kids to go to college is for her to become a resident before they are 18 years old. If she has been working here for a couple of years she is able to apply for residency. Which will most likely take anywhere from 1-2 years for her to get residency and her kids to automatically become residents.

No they do not. For a fuller explination of all of their benefits, go to http://www.lowes.com/lowes2/AboutLowes/careers/careers_ben_worklife.html\n\nThey offer first time home-buyer assistance, relocation services, 401k's and the such, but no tuition reimbursement.

Yes.\nYou cannot, in any time, get more than your tuition costs minus EFC* unless you have a full scholorship.  This could happen because you recieved more private scholorships than you planned, or your parents make more that you originally stated.\n\nSo the school typically starts out with private scholorships you've won.\nThen they go to their "standard" scholorships they give, which may change depending on the former.\nThen to fill in the rest the government aid is put in place...the money between the EFC and what the scholorships came to.\n\nYou may also have accidentally opted out of things such as work study.  Work study is usally a VERY easy job and no one should ever opt out if they qualify.\n\nIf for some reason your parents won't be making so much (eg, dad got a bonus for retiring, mom is going to go voulenteer and isn't making money, getting a divorse) talk to your advisor about a hardship review.\n\n*EFC-expected family contribution, eg. how much you and your family are expected to contriube per year to your education.

Free can be tough, but you have several options as far as either getting your child a free ride to school or reducing the amount you need to pay.\n\n1) There are scholarships, including full-ride scholarships available... but it is something your child will need to work for that you can't do for him/her.. like excelling at sports, in various subjects like math, science, art, or music, or doing a lot of community service.\n\n2) If your child doesn't qualify for a full-ride scholarship, he/she may qualify for financial aid.  There are basically 3 kinds- grants, which you don't have to pay back, loans, which you do need to pay back, or work  study, in which he/she will be working for a salary in order to pay for their college.\n\n3) Your child can start to look for a job now to help pay their way through college.\n\n4) You and your child can invest money into a savings acoount starting now and not use it except to pay for college.

California did have free tuition.  Not many people realized that, this ended, what, about ten years ago maybe more.  I think Texas still offers free tuition, its residents, unless they have ended that program as well.  I say look it up on the states' website.\n\nIf you are veteran, there are a few states that waive tuition cost.  Check the military.com website

It could be. However, nursing is one of the professional fields with loads of scholarships and financial aid available due to the nursing shortage. If anything, most community colleges offer a nursing program, and it can cut down on how much the tuition is and complete the program in two years. I will provide several sources where you can locate financial aid.\n\nFirst, file for FAFSA.ed.gov because it will help you tap into both federal and college need based financial aid.\n\nSecond, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for your state's college grant program. 35 states has a website devoted to applying for state college financial aid and applications. If this method fails, search your state government's website for nursing scholarship or grant.\n\nThird, I have listed some nursing scholarship organizations.\n\nFourth, check with your college's financial aid website and the nursing department's website because they often list available scholarships from outside organizations and companies.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. I recommend joining several of them. I recommend applying to as many as you qualify for since the more money you get in scholarships and grants, the less you will have in loans.\n\nGood luck!
