So, I have been gone from school for while, and now, I want to going back, and re - train myself for better future. That is what everyone is doing now, I meant, most people are doing it now right? In concerning the financially help from government, I just wonder what kind of aides are available out there? Does anyone know more about this?

There are Pell Grants, Cal Grants, subsidized loans and many more. You don't really need to research what types of financial aid is out there though. If you file out the Fafsa then you're automatically applying for every type of government funds there is. That's what I do but if you need more information, there's fafsa.gov. Good luck.

in our country they offer different kind of scholarship like scholarship for those smart kids and scholarship for those who are poor and really dont have the capacity to pay for their tuition even if your not top of your class. but you must pass their interview first as theres a lot of them apply for it. i have classmate whose been a scholar by our government though shes not that smart, she just passed the interview and exam and after graduation she must at least work or serve the government for how many years and i guess the government will take off some money from her salary as payment for her study before she can go and apply to other company that can offer her big income. they also called that scholarship as "study now pay later".

There are grants that the government offers. The best thing to do is contact the school you want to attend and ask them for advice. The school may offer finacial aid and scholarships that may not be offered anywhere else. Also, the school can help you fill out the financial aid forms. I know the forms are hard to fill out.
