Are there any scholarships available for Winter and Summer semesters?

Paying for College
1

<p>I was wondering if there are any scholarships available for students who'd like to attend Winter and Summer semesters. Because of my job, I can only take two courses per semester. I'm not trying to rush my education, but I need to make up for lost time since I was on a long hiatus from college due to personal issues three long years.</p>

<p>I'm an Independent student according to FAFSA and I am low-income. I attend Community College but the only way that a student can attend a Summer semester is if they have leftover funds (which I did not receive) and I have to pay for Winter out of pocket (I can't afford it because I go to college in Baltimore County and they charge more for tuition than those that do not live in Baltimore County (I have to pay $191 per credit hour plus fees)</p>

<p>I know I can get a scholarship (my current GPA is a 4.0) but I just don't know if such a scholarships exists. I did a search and the ones that I can find for Winter are overseas.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any scholarships, but if you are Pell eligible and meet certain criteria it’s possible to get a second Pell grant awarded for summer. If all of your credits added together exceed the minimum number for full-time attendance at your school during one academic year (usually 24 credits) by even one credit, you might qualify. If so, see this thread for a discussion of the criteria (pay particular attention to post #9 re part time Pell):</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I don’t qualify for it. :(</p>
