I am going back to college for my Nursing Degree and I am interested in applying for Scholarships I have even started a packet, my friends have received scholarships as well, my question is even with all of the changes in the economy is there still the need to take out Student Loans, combined with the Scholarships or does it pay to have a great budget??? I know my Aunt lives off of her Financial Aid and she is struggling, but from my past experience I had such a hard time working and trying to go to school when my mother was sick as well....It is tough all the way around.....What are ways you can save, stretch your scholarships without tapping into loan funds???And obtaining more debt...I know that you also have to make some sacrifice's in life to succeed...What have you done in your College Education to make you financially success and able to balance Education and Finances??? Without the stress and overload....

I think it allows people to concentrate on their education rather than actually paying for what they are learning. It relieves the stress of two different things, which I definetly think helps!

Yes scholarships really help students in terms of arranging there financial difficulties. Students always find themselves short of time because of the burden of studies and in these conditions working somewhere to earn money is not a good choice because it will affect the studies badly. SO scholarships are one of the best source of income for students who find it hard to get money elsewhere
