I am a 38 year old woman who is recently separated and planning to move to Tampa, Fl to start a new life. Because I don't have many resources, it would be almost impossible to secure a job in a strange city and without a job I can't secure a place to live. I am working now as a nurse's aid in Kansas City, Mo and plan to attend college for the first time to become a nurse. I would not only need money for education, I would also be in need of money for housing until I could get a job. Are there any scholarships out there for someone like me?

There are many scholarships for students of non-traditional age! Have you tried fastwebs scholarships yet?

That site really is great. You can specify your current home life, hobbies, work experience, and it narrows it down to the scholarships that are best suited for you.
